What your .human is for
When the registry launches, your name becomes a website address and an email identity. Until then, a priority claim holds your place. You will be invited to finish registration at launch.

Justin O'Mara Henning · FounderWhy we're doing this
An address that still means a person.
My children are artists and musicians. They're uncertain of what the future will be for them. I want everyone who is human-centered to know that even in an age of AI, there is still a public space dedicated to their human creativity and identity.
This digital space is for everyone. Imagine the legacy you will leave by securing a name that is instantly recognizable as “human”.
New domain extension
The .human gTLD: a domain extension built for people
Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are the suffixes after the dot in an internet address: .com, .org, .ai, and hundreds of others. .human is a proposed new gTLD applied for through ICANN as a namespace reserved for people. It is a new domain extension, not a replacement for .com, but an additional choice for personal websites, email, and digital identity.
This page is the official priority-claim campaign for .human. Search for the name you want, make a free priority claim, and track your claim in the .human portal. ICANN approval and delegation are not guaranteed; every name remains subject to Sunrise, Trademark Clearinghouse, and reserved-name rules at launch.
Questions, answered
The fine print, plainly
What is the .human domain extension?
.human is a proposed new generic top-level domain (gTLD), also called a domain extension or top-level domain string. It is applied for through ICANN and is meant to be an internet address for people: distinct from .com (commerce), .org (institutions), and .ai (agents). Human Centered Holdings has applied to steward .human if ICANN awards it.
How do I make a priority claim for a .human name?
Search for the name you want on this page. If it is available, complete the free claim form with your first name, last name, and email. That records a priority claim. You can optionally purchase a First Human Founder's Box afterward.
Is .human a new gTLD?
Yes. .human is a new gTLD in the ICANN new generic top-level domain program. Delegation is estimated between 2027 and 2028 and is not guaranteed. A priority claim here is with Human Centered Holdings, not a live registry registration today.
Does this cost anything?
Claiming a .human name is free. You are holding a priority claim, not buying a domain today.
Is the name I pick guaranteed?
No. You are holding a priority claim, not a guaranteed name. We've applied for the .human registration with ICANN, but we may have competitors for the name. At the moment, we're the only applicant who is offering the public the opportunity to make a priority claim. By buying a First Human Founder's Box, you strengthen our chance of winning a contention with a competitor and bring yourself one step closer to securing your .human name.
Why do you need my address?
We don't need your address to claim your priority name, but we do need it if we're going to ship your Founder's Box (optional). We'll also need it when the time comes for the actual registration. Your address can be filled in anytime through the online portal.
How long do you hold my reserved name?
If you claimed your name for free, we'll invite you to complete your registration when the registry launches. If you're one of our Founding Members (includes 2 years of registration, a $60 value), we'll register your .human using the information you provided to us.
When does .human launch?
ICANN has estimated delegation between 2027 and 2028. Unfortunately this is not within our control and ICANN will prioritize the release of new strings through their internal processes. This doesn't change anything for you. We'll hold your name right up to registration day.
What is First Human Founding Membership?
After making your priority claim with us, you can join us as a First Human Founding Member. The membership includes some limited edition merch and 2 years of registration to .human ($60 value).
Am I on the First Humans wall with a free claim?
Yes. A free priority claim includes a listing as your first name and last initial. A Founder Box is optional: it adds the physical mailer and prepaid registration years, not a ticket onto the wall.
Can I get a refund?
First Human memberships are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by law. If you are charged twice or hit a genuine payment error, we will make it right. If .human is not awarded, you keep the physical mailer. There is no cash refund. See the Refund & Fulfillment Policy.
