    About .tatar domain

    .tatar is a community generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by the Coordination Center of Regional Domain of Tatarstan Republic. It was delegated to the root zone in August 2014 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The extension was established as a community priority application, meaning it was designed to serve a specific, defined community. Its operation is governed by a registry agreement with ICANN.

    Who can register .tatar domain

    Registration in the .tatar gTLD is open to any person or entity that fully shares the mission, objectives, and philosophy of the domain. However, a key requirement is that a new registration aspirant must provide two recommendations from existing .tatar registrants before submitting their first application. These recommendations can be in the form of an official letter or electronic confirmation. There are no geographic restrictions based on residency.

The recommendations can be submitted as an official letter to the registrar or via an established electronic confirmation procedure, and must explicitly reference the aspirant's name and their intention to register.

However, you must still fulfill the practical requirement of obtaining two recommendations from existing registrants, which demonstrates support from within the community.
