Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]
In general, anyone is able to register a .bo domain name. According the the contract presented by ADSIB, the rule is that "the registration and use, whether directly or indirectly, of the requested domain name does not infringe upon the intellectual or industrial property rights of third parties, nor does it constitute an act of unfair competition or any other act that infringes the rights of third parties or constitutes administrative violations or criminal offenses."[2]

The second-level Domains ".edu.bo", ".gov.bo.", "mil.bo" and "int.bo" are considered restricted. To register, one is required to fill a registration form and present:
