"Registrants of .us domains must be United States citizens, residents, or organizations, or a foreign entity with a presence in the United States. Most registrants in the U.S. have registered for .com, .net, .org and other gTLDs, instead of .us, which has primarily been used by state and local governments despite any entity having the option of registering a .us domain."

I know officially you are meant to be a US resident, but I was wondering how much of a problem this is in reality, will a registrar even let me register it in the first place assuming I don’t make up a fake US address? How likely is it to get taken off you?
 
I'm not an expert, but I don't think it's an issue. I've registered German and French domains and I'm a US resident.
 
There's not a requirement to live in the US to register a .US domain. Just use a registrar and register it.
 
I'm from Europe and I have registred 10 .us domains without any problem.
 
I don't have you have any problems registering a .US domain
 
nah, you shouldn't register US domain...i mean you shouldn't register any domain.
 
Well, majority said no restrictions but, namecheap restricted me from registering a .US domain
