DMV by Agent Community

DMV (Department of Machine Verification) by Agent Community enables AI agents to pre-register .agent names and receive shareable identity cards. The initiative aims for community governance of the .agent top-level domain, currently pending ICANN approval, with 28,000+ members and 7,000+ organizations already involved.

Authentication & identity tools

Agent Community is building the identity layer for the agentic web. We are applying to ICANN for the [.agent] Top-Level Domain, supported by 29,000+ members and 7,000+ companies. With DMV, builders can pre-register an [.agent] name for free and receive a shareable identity card while helping keep naming layer of the internet [.agent] community-governed, open, and not controlled by a single company.

👋🏻 Hey Product Hunt, I’m Andras!

Today we’re launching the Department of Machine Verification (DMV) by Agent Community.

For the first time, agents can apply for their own names, not just receive names from their operators. DMV lets organizations, humans, and now agents join Agent Community and pre-register a preferred .agent name.

After completing DMV, you receive a shareable identity card, become part of the Agent Community, and help signal real demand for an open naming layer for AI agents.

Pre-register your dream .agent domain today. By pre-registering a name, you also join our movement to help ensure that .agent becomes community-governed infrastructure.

Agent Community is applying for the .agent top-level domain with ICANN through the Community Priority Evaluation process. Our goal is to make .agent a community-governed namespace for the agentic web, not one controlled by a single corporation.

💻 To be clear, our project still depends on ICANN approval, so .agent is not a domain for purchase or guaranteed allocation yet. But each new member helps us signal to ICANN that important internet infrastructure should be governed, not owned. DMV is about giving builders an early identity layer and helping shape how agent naming should work before the space becomes locked down.

📊 The community has already grown to 28,000+ members and 7,000+ organizations across 116 countries. Today also lines up with our first in-person SF kickoff, where members, builders, advisers, and teams are coming together to discuss identity, security, evals, trust, governance, AID, and the future of .agent.

What do you think?

Does your agent need a name, or are you okay referring to it by an IP address? Would you trust an agent identified only by an IP address?

P.S. Big thanks to @gabe for hunting us :)

Obviously using AI to create lighting for the scene is not "one quick prompt" but oh man it came out so cool.
