History of the TLD
.claims is a generic top‑level domain (gTLD) introduced as part of ICANN’s New gTLD Program. The application was submitted in 2012, a registry agreement was executed with ICANN in 2014, and .claims was delegated into the DNS Root Zone on 7 May 2014. The registry operator is Donuts Inc. (through its affiliate Black Corner, LLC) and is managed under the Identity Digital portfolio to provide a purpose‑built namespace for claim‑related services and industries.
Main Use and Industry Position
.claims is positioned for use by entities involved in claims handling, legal disputes, insurance coverage, property or liability claims, and related professional services. It provides a specific web identity for organisations such as law firms, insurance companies, adjusters, customer support portals, and platforms that communicate claim submission information or status tracking.
Comparison to Other TLDs
Compared to broad generic TLDs like .com or .net, .claims offers semantic relevance tied to legal and insurance claims. Unlike geographic TLDs that imply location, .claims is globally generic and open, without geography‑based nexus requirements. Against other industry‑oriented gTLDs such as .law or .insurance, .claims specifically targets claim processing and related workflows, making it more niche in contextual relevance.

Summary
.claims is a purpose‑driven generic top‑level domain launched in 2014 that emphasizes online identities for claims management, insurance, and legal services.
