.dr.tr Domain: Turkey's Extension Reserved for Physicians
.dr.tr is one of the sub-domains under .tr, the country code extension of Türkiye, and it is allocated to medical doctors and doctor partnerships. The competent authority is the Information Technologies and Communications Authority (BTK), and allocations run through TRABİS within it. In healthcare, who holds the address is directly a question of trust: .dr.tr shows that its holder is a physician whose diploma has been examined. A patient does not have to verify, before booking, that the address really belongs to a doctor.
Allocation is documented and the required paper is specific: a notarised copy of the applicant's medical diploma or graduation certificate. Applying on behalf of a doctor partnership means the same document for every person in it; where a representative files the application, a document proving that person may act for the individual or the partnership is added. The file reaches TRABİS through the registrar you choose. What usually governs the timeline is not the review but the notary appointment — getting that done first saves days.
The scope of the extension is defined by the diploma: since the required document relates to medical doctorate, an application that cannot produce it does not meet the condition. The equivalent for lawyers is .av.tr. If you also want to show the commercial identity of your practice, .com.tr can serve as a second address. With the notarised diploma ready, check your name on the domain search page.

.dr.tr Domain Lifecycle
Domain lifecycle
The stages in order, from registration to releaseDomain Is Available (Available)
A .dr.tr 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 yours for the term you chose. You can renew at any point before expiry to keep it uninterrupted, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Redemption Period (Redemption Period)
The domain is not released the moment it expires — during this window it is still yours and can be recovered. Some extensions charge an extra restore fee at this stage, so renewing before expiry is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete Period (Pending Delete Period)
If the redemption window is missed too, the domain enters the final stage and waits to be deleted. Renewal and recovery are no longer possible here; when the period ends the registration is removed for good.
Domain Is Available Again
Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .dr.tr Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
The extension is allocated to medical doctors and doctor partnerships. Eligibility is checked against the diploma submitted, so the address is a verified signal that its holder is a physician. Lawyers use a separate extension, .av.tr, and public bodies use gov.tr. Because an application filed under the wrong extension comes back at document review, choosing the right one from the start is the practical route.
-
An individual application requires a notarised copy of the medical diploma or graduation certificate. An application for a doctor partnership requires the same document for every person in it. Where a representative files the application, a document proving that person may act for the individual or the partnership is added. The file is submitted to TRABİS through the registrar you choose and examined there.
-
No. What is required is a notarised copy of the diploma or graduation certificate; a plain photocopy does not meet the condition. A file opened without it counts as incomplete, TRABİS requests the further document through the registrar, and the allocation waits. In practice what stretches the process is rarely the review — it is leaving the notary appointment until after the application.
-
A partnership application requires a notarised copy of the medical diploma or graduation certificate for every person in the partnership; one partner's document is not enough. If a partner or an employee files the application, a document showing that person may act on behalf of the partnership goes into the file as well. Gathering the documents together finishes far faster than closing them one by one.
-
You apply by choosing one of the registrars listed on the Authority's site. TRABİS-KK, the Authority's own registrar, accepts applications only for edu.tr, gov.tr, pol.tr, tsk.tr and k12.tr filed by public bodies; dr.tr is not on that list. As a physician or a doctor partnership you therefore open the file through a registrar, which forwards the paperwork to TRABİS.
-
The extension is transferable. Because TRABİS brought the move to the registry-registrar model, you can carry your domain between accredited registrars. A transfer does not remove your eligibility; the domain continues to belong to a physician or a doctor partnership. Your address, appointment page and email keep working throughout, and the remaining registration period is preserved. Start on the domain transfer page.
