Domain Name Request System

The Domain Name Request System is the place to go to request new domains under CA.GOV.  It contains the definitive registry for existing third-level CA.GOV domains (xxxx.ca.gov) for state and local government entities (e.g., city, county, police or fire department, reclamation, water district, etc.).  This system was launched in May 2017 to support policy (SAM 5195) and mandated standards (SIMM 40A).
