.cv is the domain extension for the Republic of Cape Verde, an island nation situated in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa. The extension is freely available for registration from abroad.

CV is the established abbreviation for curriculum vitae, or CV, so the .cv domain is an obvious choice for online CVs, portfolios and professional profile pages, as well as for recruitment and job-search websites. A .cv address registered in your own name is also memorable when applying for a job.
