Requesting CA.Gov Domain Names

The CA.gov domain (http://www.ca.gov/) and brand is the online brand of the State of California. It represents the certification of content on a website as official state information and services. To maintain user confidence and enhance website usability, the use of CA.gov domains by non-state entities is no longer allowed.

To determine if a new CA.gov domain name will be granted, the requesting organization should send an email to info@eservices.ca.gov. Emails should include the requested domain name, a description of the requesting organization, and contact information for an authorized representative able to answer questions about the organization.

The Office of Technology Services (OTech) is the domain authority for all CA.gov domains. To request that your current domain be pointed to a new location, the authorized owner of record (the person or an authority of the entity that registered it) should send a request to dnsrequest@ca.gov and request that the URL be pointed to the IP address of your new site.
