Buy .tn Domain Name

Only through one route. Article 8.1 of the Naming Charter limits eligible parties to three categories, and the one that covers foreign companies reads: holders or legal representatives of an international trademark registered in Tunisia. So if you have no Tunisian company and are not resident in Tunisia, a .tn registration can only rest on a trademark valid in Tunisia. The registry's own registration page repeats exactly the same sentence. An application that does not meet this test will not be accepted by a registrar.

Yes, and it is a second requirement separate from eligibility. Article 10.1 obliges the applicant to designate an administrative contact who is «obligatorily established in Tunisia and holds an effective address there»; article 10.3 makes failure to do so a ground for rejecting the application. Article 11.1 adds that this contact's email address must end in «.tn». The registry's question and answer page also describes what the representative should be: a lawyer or an intellectual property management office resident in Tunisia and recognised by the Tunisian government.

Article 9.3 defines the file in three items: the signed registration form, a document proving the applicant's identity, and the contact details. The registry's question and answer page then splits the list by residence. Applicants resident in Tunisia submit the form plus a copy of the commercial register entry, and a trademark registration copy if the requested name is a registered product. Applicants not resident in Tunisia submit the form, a commercial register copy and a trademark registration copy together, filed with a service provider in Tunisia.

There is only one option: one year. Article 14.1 makes a registered name valid for twelve months from the date of activation and renews it tacitly unless the registrar sends a termination request to the registry. No rule text offers a multi-year registration. The registry's question and answer page puts the same structure differently: the domain contract is not separately renewed, it is created once at registration and extends by itself. In practice your calendar has a single annual cycle.

The name is not deleted immediately; it is blocked first. Article 17.1 lists non-payment of the registration fee among the grounds for blocking and notes that it happens without the holder's consent; article 17.2 requires the registrar to inform the holder within three working days. Article 17.3 caps the state: names may not stay blocked for more than two calendar months except by court order, and cannot leave that state until the cause is removed. Once the period expires, article 17.4 suspends the name automatically.

Selling is prohibited; changing registrar is not. Article 11.3 lists among the holder's undertakings a commitment not to «sell, rent or delegate the domain name in whole or in part», and the registry's question and answer page repeats that in two separate places. Article 15, by contrast, deals with a change of registrar under its own heading: the holder may change registrar, and the former registrar undertakes to satisfy the request within three working days of receiving it. You can start the steps from our domain transfer page.

Yes. The registry's question and answer page asks this exact question and answers it in a single word: a domain name may be pointed at a server located outside Tunisia. The same page confirms that you can host the site on your own premises, and that keeping email with one provider while running the website with another is possible. Tunisia's restriction is on the person, not the server: hosting is free, but the administrative contact must be in Tunisia with an email address ending in «.tn».

No. Article 6.1 lists the permitted characters explicitly: Latin letters a to z — accents are not accepted — the digits 0 to 9, and the hyphen. The hyphen may not appear at the start or the end of a name, and the third and fourth characters may not both be hyphens. The same article sets the length between two and sixty-three characters and adds that a name may not consist of two letters alone. Tunisia keeps Arabic names in a separate top level zone, not under .tn.
