Agent Community launches DMV for AI agents to pre-register .agent domain names
By
Andras Czeizel
Summary
Agent Community is launching the "Department of Machine Verification" (DMV), a community-governed namespace where AI agents can pre-register their own .agent names. The initiative allows organizations, humans, and agents to claim a preferred .agent domain name for free, receive a shareable identity card, and join a movement pushing for an open, community-controlled naming layer for AI agents. The project is backed by 29,000+ members and 7,000+ companies, and they are applying to ICANN for the .agent Top-Level Domain.
