Overview

What is .gov.sy

.gov.sy is the extension for government bodies under Syria’s code: the word government. It is for a ministry, a directorate or a public institution that wants an address from which citizens know they face an official body, not a page impersonating it, when they read news or file a request.

On top of the owner’s documents, registering it asks for an official letter from the body confirming that it reports directly to a branch of government in Syria. That condition is what makes it the most trusted address in the national family for citizens, and what, at the same time, keeps it for government bodies alone.

Who it suits

For your field: is .gov.sy the best fit?

Every field has an extension that says something about it. Here is what .gov.sy says in each, and which extension completes it.

  • A ministry or directorate

    Excellent · The first choice

    The official extension for government bodies; the official letter is what the registration asks for, and what reassures the citizen.

    Register it with.gov.sy.sy

  • Online services for citizens

    Excellent · The first choice

    Whoever pays a fee or files a request wants to be sure they’re on the body’s own site.

    Register it with.gov.sy.sy

  • A local council or municipality

    Good · A good fit

    It suits one that reports directly to a branch of government and holds a letter saying so.

    Register it with.gov.sy.sy

  • A school or institute

    Consider another · Consider .edu.sy

    The education extension .edu.sy or .school.sy says what the institution does, with its education license.

    Register it with.edu.sy.school.sy

  • A company that works with government

    Consider another · Consider .com.sy

    Working with a government body doesn’t make you one; .com.sy is for your company, with its commercial register.

    Register it with.com.sy.com

  • An organization or association

    Consider another · Consider .org.sy

    For government bodies alone; organizations have .org.sy, with their license or notice of incorporation.

    Register it with.org.sy.org

What it does for you

What you gain when you register it

  • Official from its address

    It is registered only with an official letter from the body, so the citizen knows they’re in the right place.

  • Harder for impostors

    An impostor lacks the official letter .gov.sy asks for, so the difference shows in the address.

  • Official email for correspondence

    info@maktabat-quneitra.gov.sy is an address the citizen knows comes from the body itself.

  • An address worthy of the institution

    The body’s site, services and email under one official name.

And where its value shows

In service portals

Citizens pay and file requests with confidence.

In letters and circulars

An official address on every page.

In public announcements

A link citizens don’t doubt.

In mail between bodies

An official email instead of a free one.
