Effective starting November 19, 2020

Postman account names

  • Postman account names (including usernames and team domain names) are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and must be intended for immediate and active use.
  • If the username or team domain name you want has already been claimed, consider other names or unique variations. Using a number, hyphen, or an alternative spelling might help you identify a desirable username still available.
  • Keep in mind that not all activity on Postman is publicly visible; accounts with no visible activity may be in active use.

Trademark policy

  • If you believe someone's account is violating your trademark rights, you can find more information about making a trademark complaint on our trademark policy page.

Name squatting policy

  • Postman prohibits account name squatting, and account names may not be reserved or inactively held for future use. Accounts violating this name squatting policy may be removed or renamed without notice. Attempts to sell, buy, or solicit other forms of payment in exchange for account names are prohibited and may result in permanent account suspension.
