Secure your brand in Turkey with the new Top-level domain .TR

The Turkish Domain Registry is now launching the Top-level extension .tr. As a brand owner registering your name under the .tr domain provides numerous advantages. It safeguards your trademark from potential malicious registrations by other parties. Additionally, such registration fosters local accessibility and enhances digital clarity for your customers.

The Launch will be divided into three phases:
1. Pre-application – Feb 14^th  to Aug 7^th
2. Allocation process – Date to be determined by registry.
3. General Availability – Date to be determined by registry.

The initial phase, Pre-application, spans from February 14th to August 7th. During this period, companies with existing .com.tr or .net.tr registrations have the opportunity and priority to secure their names under the .TR extension. To qualify for the pre-application phase, your brand must have registered its .com.tr or .net.tr before August 25th, 2023.

The Allocation Process phase will last for one month, during which the registry will evaluate all applications. After the Allocation Process phase, the registry will release the extension into General Availability, allowing everyone to secure their .tr domains.

How can we help?

Registering the top-level domain during its launch is advisable, as this precautionary measure deters external entities seeking to capitalize on your name under the .TR domain.
