.travel Authentication
What Information Will I Need to Start Authentication?
Before you begin you should have the following:
- Active ATTA Membership. ATTA is limited to providing
.travel authentication to only ATTA members. If you are not a
member, please review our membership
options and their valuable benefits. Join Today!
- Business Registration Number (corporations, associations, non-profit
organizations, mutual associations, cooperatives, etc.) and name of
the issuer of that registration (if applicable - not required for
sole-proprietorships or partnerships). Registered
business/organizations normally file organizational papers with a
governmental authority and this will usually result in receipt of a
registration
- Desired Names and Terms. The full and correct trademarks, service marks, trading names,
vessel names, association names, club names for all such names that
you may wish to apply to register in the future.
Requested names MUST be used prominently in your marketing materials or web site. For example, if you want to register "outbacktours.travel" then your brochure or web page must have a section dedicated to "Outback Tours" and "Outback Tours" should be the title of the page. You can also use "Outback Tours" as a label for a navigation button, but the resulting page must discuss "Outback Tours".
- Contact Information. The names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and fax numbers of a contact person in your organization.
.travel Authentication
All members of the travel and tourism industry are eligible to hold a .travel domain name, but they must be “authenticated” to ensure their eligibility according to the policies of the .travel Registry. As a member of ATTA you are entitled to be authenticated through ATTA. A .travel name identifies you as a verified participant in the travel industry. ATTA is working with the .travel Registry to review and verify eligibility of our members.
A .travel name registration also provides for a listing in the industry-exclusive directory of travel products and services—a listing you define and edit, as you will. The .travel Directory provides your fellow industry members, as well as consumers, with a precision search tool that is designed to drive traffic to your business. If you would like more information about .travel domain names or the .travel Directory, you can find it HERE.
If you would like to Authenticate your eligibility for a .travel domain name(s) ATTA will help you. All that’s required is that you complete a short information form and forward us some supporting documents. Just click the secure “authentication data” link below, and follow the instructions you find there to fill in the form. ATTA will review your data and confirm your eligibility based on the information you supply and the membership data we hold.
Once you have been authenticated you will be sent an email which will confirm your eligibility. You will then be able to use the User ID and Password you have chosen when you enter your authentication information to return to review your record and Names List, which is a list of names that you are eligible to apply to register. The Names List is generated from the information you provide on the authentication form.
Authentication is a member service without any charge to you at this time. Your .travel name registration fee includes not only the cost of your Authentication, but also your .travel Directory listing. Once you are authenticated you will be entitled to Register any or all of .travel domain name(s) on your Names List. Authentication does not guarantee or reserve any names you are authenticated for. All registrations for any .travel domain name are first-come-first-served, therefore we urge you to get authenticated and register your chosen domain name(s) as quickly as possible.
If you are uncertain what data you will need to fill in your Authentication Data form you can check the .travel FAQ, or contact Jason Reckers at or 916-671-1722.
