5 Benefits of Using a .tr Domain
What are the rules for registering a .tr domain?
Easy registration – no local presence required
Many .tr domains, such as .com.tr, can now be registered without requiring a local presence in Turkey. Previous documentation requirements — like having a registered Turkish trademark — now apply only in specific cases.
Minimum registration period: 1 years
Unlike many other top-level domains, .tr requires a minimum registration of one year – 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.
Who Can Register a Turkish Top-Level Domain?
Anyone – individuals or organisations, regardless of nationality or residence – can register a .tr domain. However, certain extensions such as .com.tr, .net.tr, .org.tr, .info.tr, .biz.tr, .web.tr, .gen.tr, .tv.tr, .bbs.tr, .name.tr, and .tel.tr may require supporting documentation.
These domains must typically match the registrant’s company or trademark name. While proof of business activity in Turkey may be required, there is no need for a physical presence in the country.
If your preferred .tr domain is already taken, there are alternative options available. We’re happy to advise you on extensions like .com.tr, .net.tr, .info.tr, .biz.tr and .org.tr. Contact us for more information.
