Requirements
Who can register a .ia.br?
- Both the registrant and the billing contact must be based in Brazil. If you don't have a Brazilian presence, a local address via a trustee service is possible.
- If you register without a trustee service, you need a Brazilian registration number: a CPF for individuals or a CNPJ for companies and organisations.
- For names under ORG.BR, you must prove that your organisation is non-governmental and not-for-profit. A trustee service isn't available here.
- No trustee service is available for names under BLOG.BR either.
- Names under ESP.BR (sport) and FAR.BR (pharmacies and chemists) are only for legal entities with a CNPJ number, not for individuals. A trustee service can be used for these, though.
Additional details for registration
- A CPF number if you're registering as an individual, in the format NNN.NNN.NNN-NN.
- A CNPJ number if you're registering as a company or organisation, in the format NN.NNN.NNN/NNNN-NN.
- If you're registering as an individual with a CPF number, your date of birth is also required.
- For a Brazilian address, you must state the state using its official two-letter abbreviation, for example SP for São Paulo or RJ for Rio de Janeiro.
- Without a trustee service, a billing contact with a valid Brazilian address is mandatory.
Documents
- To transfer a domain, the current registrant must sign a form, have it notarised and send it by post to NIC.BR at the address shown on the form.
Good to know when registering
- If you register with a CPF number without a date of birth, the application is put on hold. The registry will send you an email with a link to a form on Registro.br where you can enter your date of birth.
- If you don't enter your date of birth within 24 hours, the registry cancels the registration.
- If you register via a trustee service, the trustee's check takes one to three days.
- Someone else may have an application for the same name pending with the registry at the same time.
- A name that has been through a release process more than six times in a row may no longer be available for registration. You can find more information at https://registro.br/dominio/proclib.html.
Transfer
Transferring a .ia.br
- A transfer is done via a form from the registry, which is only available in Portuguese.
- The current registrant signs the form and has it notarised.
- You then send the form to NIC.BR, at the address shown on the form.
- NIC.BR then contacts the trustee to complete the transfer.
Owner
Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- A change of registrant can't be carried out automatically.
- You can't change the registrant's name or organisation name through a regular contact update; this requires a proper change of registrant.
- Changes to contact details aren't processed immediately and may take a while.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- You can only cancel a domain name via NIC.BR's online form, which is only available in Portuguese.
