Requirements
Who can register a .com.tr?
- Anyone can register a .com.tr domain name, even if you don't live or have a business in Turkey.
- You no longer need to send in any documents when you register; you just need to provide some additional information.
Additional details for registration
- If you're registering as an individual and live in Turkey, you provide your 11-digit Turkish national identification number.
- If you're an individual living outside Turkey and don't have an 11-digit personal identification number, a fixed substitute number is filled in.
- If you're registering as a company in Turkey, you provide your 11-digit tax number and the name of your tax office.
- If your company is based outside Turkey, you provide the name of the town or city where your tax office is located. If you don't have an 11-digit tax number, a fixed substitute number is filled in.
Documents
- You no longer need any documents to register.
- If you want a change of registrant to be approved as an exception, you need to provide documents showing the reason.
- If you want your domain name to be explicitly deleted, you fill in the registry's form. You have this form signed by the registrant and send it to WebOké.
Transfer
Transferring a .com.tr
- As soon as the transfer has been started, you give the transfer code to WebOké. We'll take care of the rest of the transfer.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain. You give it to WebOké once the transfer has been started.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- According to the registry, a change of registrant was not possible until September 2025.
- An exception is possible if there's a valid reason, such as an official change of name, a company that has been dissolved or a merger.
- For an exception like this, you provide the details of the new registrant and documents as proof. The registry reviews them and decides whether the change is approved.
- You can still simply update the registrant's address, email address and phone number. To change the registrant's name or organisation, a change of registrant is required.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you want your domain name to be explicitly deleted, you need a special form from the registry. The registrant must fill it in and sign it.
- A deleted domain name can't be restored automatically, but WebOké can request a manual restore for you.
