.pol.tr Domain: The .tr Extension for Turkish Police Units
.pol.tr is one of the sub-domains under .tr, the country code extension of Türkiye, and it is allocated to the General Directorate of Security and the units within it. The competent authority is the Information Technologies and Communications Authority (BTK), and allocations run through TRABİS within it. What the restriction buys is public safety: an address ending in .pol.tr shows that the site belongs to a police unit verified through documents. Someone reading a report form, a notice or an information page does not have to investigate whether the address is genuine.
Allocation is documented and one paper is required: an official request letter signed by the competent authority of the applicant police unit. The channel is distinctive here as well: pol.tr applications are accepted by TRABİS-KK, the Authority's own registrar, and no fee is charged for public-sector domain transactions carried out through it. The same rule covers gov.tr, edu.tr, tsk.tr and k12.tr applications filed by public bodies; these extensions are not allocated through commercial registrars.
On the public side the split is clear: police units use .pol.tr, other public institutions use .gov.tr and municipalities use .bel.tr. If you are unsure whether an official-looking address really is allocated to the unit it names, check its registration data on the whois search page before sharing personal details or making any payment.

.pol.tr Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: for .pol.tr the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .pol.tr, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .pol.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 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.
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 .pol.tr Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
The extension is allocated to the General Directorate of Security and the units within it. Companies, associations or individuals working with the police cannot apply for it. On the public side, other institutions use gov.tr, municipalities use bel.tr and units of the Turkish Armed Forces use tsk.tr. The restriction exists so that citizens can identify an official police page from the address alone.
-
One document is required: an official request letter signed by the competent authority of the applicant police unit. In documented allocation the paperwork is examined; if a gap is found, further information and documents are requested rather than the application being refused outright. Where it is rejected, the reasons and gaps are notified and a new application may follow. Having the right office sign the letter is what gets a file through on the first pass.
-
pol.tr applications are accepted by TRABİS-KK, the Authority's own registrar. The same rule covers gov.tr, edu.tr, tsk.tr and k12.tr applications filed by public bodies; these extensions are not allocated through commercial registrars. Applications for av.tr, bel.tr, dr.tr, kep.tr and non-public k12.tr are filed instead by choosing one of the other registrars listed on the Authority's site.
-
No fee is charged for public-sector domain transactions in pol.tr, gov.tr, edu.tr, tsk.tr and k12.tr carried out through TRABİS-KK. For other extensions, registrars may charge their own transaction fees, set with regard to the amounts determined by the Authority. For police units no transaction charge arises on the pol.tr side; the process runs entirely on documents and review.
-
The first check is the extension: police units use .pol.tr, which is subject to documented allocation. Addresses that look similar but do not end in .pol.tr never went through that control. The second check is the registration data; you can see who the domain is allocated to on the whois search page. On a page asking for a fine payment or identity details, those two steps take seconds.
-
The eligibility definitions differ: .pol.tr goes to the General Directorate of Security and its units, while .gov.tr goes to public institutions and bodies in general. The channel and the fee regime are the same for both: each is accepted by TRABİS-KK and no fee is charged for these public-sector transactions. The difference lies in which body carries which name.
