.tatar Domain: A Name Space for Tatar Language and Culture
The .tatar zone entered the root on 3 July 2014; its ICANN agreement is dated 24 April 2014 and the contracting party is the Coordination Center of Regional Domain of Tatarstan Republic, based in Kazan. The agreement is classified as a community extension, with the community described as the people connected to Tatar language and culture.
The community definition is drawn broadly: residents of Tatarstan, Tatars across Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, Tatars abroad, academics and students interested in Tatar language and history, and businesses producing goods and services for that audience. The registry states on its own site that registration is not tied to residence in Russia. Check a name on the .tatar domain search page.
The community section of the agreement leaves eligibility strikingly open: any company and any individual may register a second level name provided they fully share and support the mission, purposes and philosophy of the extension. Use, by contrast, is binding: a name may not be used against that purpose, nor contrary to the law of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan, moral foundations or the traditions of the Tatar community. Enforcement runs in three steps: suspension of delegation, restriction of the name and cancellation of the registration, with time to remedy at each step.

.tatar Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .tatar domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .tatar address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .tatar domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .tatar returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .tatar Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Yes. The eligibility clause of the agreement states that any company and any individual may register a name provided they share and support the mission and purposes of the extension; ethnicity and citizenship are not asked. The registry adds on its own site that registration is not conditional on residence in Russia. The gate therefore looks at what you will use the name for, not at who you are.
-
The restriction sits in use. A name must be used consistently with the mission and purpose of the extension, and may not run contrary to the law of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan, moral foundations or the traditions and customs of the Tatar community. The same test applies to name selection: a string that offends public order or the purpose of the extension cannot be registered. This is a content test rather than a place or profession test.
-
Enforcement is defined in three steps. At the first the delegation is suspended and the name stops resolving until the breach is remedied. At the second the name is frozen for operations: transfer, update, renewal and deletion are closed off. The third step is cancellation of the registration. Each step allows time to put things right, and the registrant may put an explanation to the abuse team; if the review reverses the decision the name can be reactivated.
-
Measured on 13 August 2026 the zone holds 1,451 registrations with 1,183 in the zone file, roughly eighty-two percent. This is the smallest yet genuinely active zone in the group. The practical consequence is that short, direct names are very likely still free. To try candidates combining culture, language and region words in one pass, use bulk domain name search.
-
Yes, the transfer follows standard gTLD rules: lift the lock, obtain the authorisation code, open the request with the gaining provider. One point deserves attention here: if the operator has applied a restriction to the name, transfers are closed, so check the status of the name with whois search before you begin. Start the process from the domain transfer page.
