Requirements
Who can register a .org.cn?
- Individuals as well as businesses and organisations from outside China can register a .org.cn domain name.
- CNNIC carries out mandatory real-name verification. As the registrant, you must provide the real name of a natural person and supply proof of identity.
- The registrant's name must exactly match the name on the identity document or company certificate, including the legal form, such as LTD.
- If you're from outside China, your name must not contain any special characters, such as ä, ü, ö or é. This refers to your full name as it appears on your passport.
- If the intended registrant at a company has a name like this, you can register the domain in the name of another person within the company. That person must have a name without special characters and be willing to send in proof of identity.
- You must comply with the rules of CNNIC and Chinese domain name regulations, including CNNIC's dispute policy.
- You may not register or use a domain name that, according to CNNIC, violates the Chinese constitution, national security or public order.
- Domain names that incite discrimination or hatred, spread pornography, gambling, violence or terror, or insult others or infringe their rights are also prohibited.
- If the web server is located in mainland China, you need a valid ICP number from the Chinese ministry MIIT. This is only possible if the registrant has a branch in China.
- You must supply genuine, accurate and complete documents and confirm that you have read and understood CNNIC's registration rules.
- You are fully responsible yourself if the domain is suspended due to a breach of the rules. CNNIC and the registrar are not liable for this.
Additional details for registration
- You indicate whether the registrant is an individual or a business or organisation.
- You provide the real name of a natural person. For a business, this is a responsible contact person, who doesn't have to be listed on the company certificate.
- You provide the type of identity document the registrant has, for example a passport, identity card or company registration, plus the corresponding number.
- If the website is hosted on a server in mainland China, you also provide a valid ICP number.
Documents
- Individuals outside China send a scan or photo of their passport or identity card. A driving licence isn't accepted, and the registrant's name must be on the document.
- Businesses and organisations outside China send an extract from the trade register or a company certificate, plus a copy of the passport or identity card of the responsible contact person.
- If you're from mainland China, you send a copy of your Chinese identity card, not a passport.
- Chinese businesses also send a copy of page 1 of their company certificate, preferably the business licence.
- Residents of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan can use a travel or residence permit for mainland China, or a permanent residence card for foreigners.
- If you use a residence permit or a permanent residence card, both the front and the back are required.
- When registering, you supply the documents as a JPEG file of up to 1 MB.
- A signed declaration is no longer required.
Good to know when registering
- Every registration is checked manually by CNNIC, even if your details have been approved before.
- If the required documents haven't been received after 8 days, the registration fails.
- After registration, you can request a domain certificate. For this, you need the domain name and the registrant's phone number.
Transfer
Transferring a .org.cn
- A transfer requires a signed request from the registrant.
- A transfer may also require CNNIC's real-name verification, for which you supply proof of identity.
- The domain must not have any lock, such as a registrar lock or a HOLD status. You can see this in the WHOIS, and as the registrant you can ask your current registrar to remove the lock.
- The domain must be older than 60 days, otherwise the transfer will be refused.
- The expiry date must be more than 15 days in the future, otherwise the transfer will be refused. So start in good time and not just before the domain expires.
The transfer code
- You need a transfer code to transfer a domain.
- You get the transfer code from your current registrar. The registrant or the administrative contact of the domain can request it.
- Check that the transfer code is correct before you start the transfer, otherwise it will fail.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- The new registrant supplies a copy of an identity document or passport, or the business licence in the case of a business.
- The documents can be JPG, PNG or GIF files and must be no larger than 1 MB.
- A change of registrant isn't processed immediately, so allow for some waiting time.
- If the domain is registered in the name of a trustee service, you can move it to a registrant of your own. The other way round, from your own registrant to a trustee service, isn't possible.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- After being restored from quarantine, the domain is temporarily inactive. It becomes active again as soon as nameservers have been set up again.
