BR TLD ENCYCLOPEDIA

Register .br

The official ccTLD for Brazil, managed by NIC.br. Mostly registered under second-level categories like .com.br for commercial sites. Local presence required.

★ DOSSIER · BR ★

What is .br?

For Brazilian businesses and organizations. Most .br domains are second-level (e.g. brand.com.br).

★ Mission log · Interesting facts

  • .br is delegated to NIC.br and uses second-level categories — .com.br (commercial), .org.br (organizations), .gov.br (government) are the most common.
  • Direct second-level .br registration opened to the public in 2020 but remains the minority.
  • One of the strictest verification regimes among major ccTLDs — every registrant is tied to a Brazilian tax ID.
