.ad is the national domain extension for Andorra, and its registry is managed by domini.ad in Andorra. For a long time, only holders of Andorran trade marks were able to register .ad domains; however, since October 2024, anyone from anywhere in the world has been free to register a .ad domain.

This small country, situated in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, welcomes several million visitors each year; its economy is based on tourism, trade and financial services. Given the English word ‘ad’ (advertisement), the extension is also an ingenious choice for advertising agencies, advertising platforms and marketing campaigns.
