The Commonwealth Registry for Internet Domains is a non-profit organization in the Commonwealth of Peoples set up by the Commonwealth Commission to operate the .cop top-level domain.

CRID is a consortium of the country code top-level domain operators of all ten Commonwealth members. It is based in Solomon, the Resurgent Dream and has branch offices in every Commonwealth member state.

CRID uses registry software based on that used by Laneria. This includes the Extensible Provisioning Protocol allowing registrars to operate directly on .cop domain names.
