Why register a .tr domain?
What are the rules for registering a .tr domain?
Easy registration – no local presence required
Several .tr domain types (e.g., .com.tr) are now easier to register even for international businesses. While some extensions still require documentation (such as trademark certificates), many are available with fewer restrictions.
Minimum registration period: 1 years
Unlike many other top-level domains, .tr requires a minimum registration of two years – something to consider when budgeting.
Auctions for premium domains
Short, generic, or high-value .tr domain names may be auctioned and priced higher. We guide you through the process and help you secure what you need.
Technical rules for .tr domains:
- Length: 2–63 characters
- Characters allowed: a–z, 0–9, and hyphens (-)
- Domain names cannot begin or end with a hyphen
- Not allowed: two consecutive hyphens in the 3rd and 4th positions (e.g., ab--cd.tr is invalid)

About .tr and its management
.tr is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Turkey, managed by Bilgi Teknolojileri ve İletişim Kurumu (BTK) – the Turkish authority responsible for setting registration policies and authorising domain registrars.
The .tr domain is not only widely used in Turkey but also across the Middle East, and is known for its high credibility, security, and reliability.
