INTERNET DOMAIN NAME POLICY - 5195
(Revised: 11/2021)
The State of California has been authorized to administer the “ca.gov” Domain Name Service (DNS) Zone by the United States General Services Administration (GSA). As of April 2021, the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has taken over responsibility of .gov internet domain name management from GSA. Web domains occupying this zone can only be acquired by an official state entity, county, city, state-recognized tribal government, Joint Powers Authority, or independent local district within the State of California. The Government Operations Agency (GovOps) has statewide responsibility to oversee the ca.gov domain name program and the California Department of Technology manages the registration, change, and renewal process for ca.gov domains. This policy applies to all second-level and third-level domain names within the ca.gov domain.
