.tw registration
.tw is Taiwan’s country-code domain extension. It suits businesses, organizations, and individuals building a presence for Taiwanese audiences or creating a clear connection with Taiwan. Registration is open to applicants from any country, but the holder’s identity details must be supplied according to whether the applicant is an individual or a legal entity. Individuals must provide an identification number, such as a national identity card or passport number, together with their date of birth in DD-MM-YYYY format. Legal entities must provide their company registration number and the identification number of their legal representative. The registry may request additional information to identify the holder and confirm compliance with its registration rules. .tw domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with no special application procedure. A domain label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. Choosing a concise name connected to your brand, service, or activity can make the address easier for visitors in Taiwan to recognize and remember. To transfer an existing .tw domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock at the current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Transfers can take several days and add one year to the existing expiry date. Changing the holder is a separate authenticated process: confirmation emails are sent to both the current and future holders, and the request expires if it is not completed within five days.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .tw extension stand for?
tw is the country-code domain extension associated with Taiwan. It gives a website an immediate geographic connection to Taiwan and is commonly relevant to companies, organizations, services, and individuals addressing Taiwanese users or presenting activities connected with the Taiwanese market.
Who can register a .tw domain?
Individuals and legal entities from any country can register a .tw domain. Domains are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants must provide the holder information required for their legal form, including identity details for individuals or company and representative details for organizations.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .tw?
Identity information is mandatory. Individuals must provide an ID or passport number and a birth date formatted as DD-MM-YYYY. Legal entities must provide their registration number and the ID number of their legal representative. The registry may request further information to verify the holder and eligibility.
Is .tw a good choice, and what projects is it suited to?
tw is a practical choice for websites aimed at people in Taiwan, local services, regional campaigns, Taiwanese branches, and brands wanting a clear connection with the market. It can also help separate Taiwan-specific content, pricing, language, or customer support from a company’s broader international presence.
When does .tw make more sense than .com?
tw makes more sense when Taiwan is the project’s primary market because the address communicates that geographic focus immediately. .com is better for a globally neutral identity and wider international positioning. A business serving both audiences may use .com globally and .tw for its Taiwan-focused website.
How quickly is a .tw domain registered, and how long does it last?
tw uses a standard first-come, first-served registration process without a special application stage. Processing can proceed once the required holder details are complete and accepted. The domain remains registered for the term confirmed with the order and can be renewed to maintain continuity.
How do I transfer a .tw domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer protection at your current registrar, request the domain’s authorization code, and submit the transfer through host.yt. Completion may take several days. Once the transfer finishes, one year is added to the current expiry date, so the domain’s remaining registration time is preserved.
