# faq
? How many .legal domains are registered?
There are 24,639 active .legal domains as of August 31, 2026, according to DNSniffer's daily count of zone-file and certificate-transparency records.
? Is .legal growing or shrinking?
.legal has grown by 31.02% over the last year (+5,833 domains).
? Where does the .legal domain count come from?
We ingest ICANN CZDS zone files and Certificate Transparency logs continuously and snapshot the per-TLD count once a day. A .legal domain is counted as active if it appeared in a zone file in the last 2 days, or — where no zone file is published — if a certificate was issued for it in the last 12 months.
