passport or your the social security #<br />
• Then you have to prove your right to the name with<br />
sufficient documentaDon (naDonal or internaDonal<br />
register)<br />
• Then you can apply with a A-‐applicaDon <strong>and</strong> you can now<br />
rent the name <strong>fo</strong>r one year at the Dme<br />
• If you can´t prove your right to the name, you have to apply<br />
with an B-‐applicaDon <strong>and</strong> the name will be publish on<br />
nic.<strong>fo</strong> <strong>and</strong> in a naDonal newspaper <strong>fo</strong>r one month. If no one<br />
objects with a valid documentaDon <strong>and</strong> applies <strong>fo</strong>r the<br />
name your applicaDon will be approved<br />
