Buy .com.tr Domain Name

No. Since 14 September 2022, .com.tr has been allocated without documents; no trademark certificate, commercial register entry or similar evidence is required. Before that date documents were mandatory and the extension was effectively out of reach for most users. Today the only decisive criterion is the moment your application reaches TRABİS — so the process is now about acting promptly, not assembling paperwork.

Documentless allocation runs on the first-come, first-served rule. What decides who came first is the moment the application reaches TRABİS, not the moment you submit the request to your provider. For names in high demand that distinction can be decisive, so prompt submission matters. Names appearing on the TAKAL and TAKIL lists fall outside this rule.

.tr sits at the direct second level and is the shorter form. .com.tr sits at the third level and has become identified with commercial use in Turkey. Both are allocated without documents today, so the difference is not about paperwork but about length, familiarity and positioning. If established recognition is your priority choose .com.tr; if brevity is, look at .tr.

These are special name lists maintained by TRABİS. Names on them cannot be allocated through the documentless route and stand outside the first-come, first-served rule. If the name you want appears on one of these lists, it cannot be registered through a standard documentless application and a different process applies. Our support team can clarify the status of your name and the route available.

Because TRABİS brought the move to the registry-registrar model, you can carry your domain between accredited registrars. The process starts with obtaining the transfer authorisation from your current provider and confirming the domain is not locked against transfer. Your address and email keep working throughout, and the remaining registration period is preserved. Start on the domain transfer page.

When the direct second level .tr opened, staged priority windows were granted to existing holders under the older extensions, letting an organisation apply for the .tr counterpart of the name it already held. Since those windows closed and .tr moved to the general first-come, first-served basis, you need to check whether the name is still free using domain search.
