.claims Domains: An Address for Claims and Settlements
.claims entered the root zone on 1 May 2014, and the IANA record names Binky Moon, LLC as the sponsoring organisation. No eligibility condition has been verified for registration. The nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026 shows 8,589 names in the zone, one of the smaller zones in this group, which leaves a good share of descriptive names open.
The word covers insurance settlements and legal demands alike, so the root has to draw the line: damage.claims and probate.claims describe two very different services under one ending. Here is the rule to apply. Where you are building a page that walks through a process, lists required documents and offers an application form, the ending states the subject in the address bar itself. For a general law firm profile, options such as the .attorney domain read more broadly.
Loss adjusting, claims consultancy and legal representation are tied to a licence, a register or bar admission in most countries. Registering this ending grants no such authority, and no licence check is defined on the registry side. If you provide the service, publish your credentials openly on the page; if you are buying it, confirm them in the relevant official register rather than reading them off the address.

.claims Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .claims domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .claims address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .claims domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a $11.12 late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .claims returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .claims Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Not for registration; no eligibility condition has been verified.
No licence check is defined on the side of Binky Moon, LLC, the sponsoring organisation. Loss adjusting and legal representation, however, are regulated activities in most countries, and that obligation follows from the work you do. The ending is not a credential. Check the state of a name with a domain name search.
-
For both — and the root you choose, not the ending, draws the line.
Because the word covers insurance settlements and legal demands alike, the address on its own does not name the subject. Pair the root with something concrete such as damage, injury, probate or workplace accident and the visitor knows what to expect. To try several combinations together, use the bulk domain name search.
-
Publish your credentials, registration details and the basis on which you charge.
Claims processes involve sensitive personal data, so state which data you keep and for how long. On a page hosting an application form, an encrypted connection is not up for debate — choose a certificate on the SSL certificate page. These details shape whether a visitor decides to trust you at all.
-
Look at the scope: are you explaining a process or introducing a profession?
.claims stays narrow and precise for pages built around one process, which suits application guides, document checklists and calculation tools. .attorney introduces the practice and holds several service areas together. The details sit on the .attorney domain page.
-
Begin by asking your current registrar for the authorisation code.
If the transfer lock is closed you will need it opened, sixty days must have passed since registration, and your administrative email address has to be working. Check what the record holds through whois search, then start the process on the domain transfer page.
-
Decent — with 8,589 registrations this is one of the smaller zones here.
That number comes from the nTLDstats page accessed on 11 August 2026, so the pool is not tight. Some common single-word terms will be gone, while sector and city combinations remain widely available. Make sure the name holds up both written down and said aloud.
