Anyone can register .tw, .idv.tw, and .com.tw domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.
All new registrations of .org.tw domains will be restricted to qualified Taiwanese organizations. The following describes the procedures and policies that were implemented for .org.tw registration.
In order to register a .org.tw domain name, the domain’s registrant contact must meet two conditions:
- The country code in the registrants address must be TW.
- The contact object must include a Taiwan issued Unified Business Number.
If the registrant has not already submitted documentation to register a domain name under .org.tw, the foreign non-profit organization will need to submit the following documents for the Domain Name Committees review and approval:
- Documents supporting the applicants due registration under its national, state or federal laws.
- Written statements describing the objectives and reasons for registering the related domain name.
The statements may be written in English or Chinese. There is no restriction on the number of pages for the statement. Documents can be submitted to cctldhelp@secureserver.net.
Domain names can be up to 63 characters, with a minimum of three characters, and can contain letters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (except at the beginning or end of the domain name). You cannot register domain names with special characters such as & and #.
The .tw country code top-level domain name (ccTLD) is an extension that represets Taiwan. For companies that conduct business in Taiwan and individuals who want to reach the growing number of Internet users there, .tw domain names are a good investment. Registering a .tw domain name gives you regional recognition and an easy-to-manage Web presence.
The information below applies to the following country-code second-level domain names (ccSLDs) that we offer at this time:
- .com.tw — Intended for commercial entities
- .idv.tw — Intended for individuals
- .org.tw — Intended for non-profit organizations
- .tw — Intended for Taiwan businesses or individuals
