About NIC BI
The registry behind every .bi name
NIC BI operates the .bi country code top-level domain for the Republic of Burundi. We keep the authoritative database of .bi names, accredit registrars and publish registration data.
Trusted and accountable
Clear, published policies for registration, transfers, privacy and abuse, applied the same way to every registrar.
Built on open standards
Registrars connect over EPP (RFC 5730–5734). Registration data is available through WHOIS and RDAP, the modern JSON lookup protocol.
A network of accredited registrars
Every registrar passes technical tests and signs the registry–registrar agreement before it can register names.
A national digital identity
A .bi address tells people at once that a business, institution or person is part of Burundi.
