When creating a CIRA registrant of the type Corporation (CCO), the registrant name must contain a valid corporation status identifiers in order to satisfy the CIRA registrant agreement. If this is not the case, an error message will be displayed during the CIRA registrant creation process. As an example, the name "Compudata Systems London Inc." would be a valid CIRA registrant name because it contains the identifier "inc.", but "Compudata.ca" would be invalid.

Note: This rule only applies to dot-ca registrants and domains since they are governed by CIRA, the dot-ca registry. If your registrant does not have any dot-ca domains registered under it, the above restriction does not apply. However, we do advise using the full legal name of your corporation when creating a registrant no matter the situation. This will help avoid future ownership issues with your domains.
