    About .tg domain

    .tg is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to Togo, delegated by IANA and introduced on 5 September 1996. The registry is managed by the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques et des Postes (ARCEP). Registrations can be made directly at the second level or at the third level beneath a range of structured second-level labels. The extension remains primarily used within Togo, though no geographic restriction prevents international registrants from obtaining a .tg domain.

    Who can register .tg domain

    .tg is open to a broad range of registrants with minimal restrictions. Eligible parties include:

    • Legal entities: state and local authorities; public or private enterprises based anywhere in the world; institutions, organizations, and associations regardless of location; and holders of trademarks registered with WIPO, OAPI, or Togo's national trademark body (INPIT).
    • Individuals: adults domiciled in Togo, adults residing outside Togo, and holders of trademarks registered with WIPO, OAPI, or INPIT.

    Domain names must not infringe competition rules, third-party rights, morality, or public order, and must not cause confusion regarding any individual or legal entity. Content that harms national security or uses racially offensive terms is also prohibited.

    How to register .tg domain

    1. Search for availability. Use a registrar's search tool to check whether your desired .tg name is available at the second level (example.tg) or under one of the structured third-level labels such as .com.tg, .org.tg, or .nom.tg. Choosing the right second-level category can help signal the nature of your organization to visitors.

    2. Compare registrar options. Review the registrars that offer .tg registrations, paying attention to pricing, renewal fees, and included features such as DNS management and WHOIS privacy. Because .tg is a less commonly traded ccTLD, the number of accredited resellers may be smaller than for major gTLDs.

    3. Complete the checkout process. Add the domain to your cart, select a registration term, and provide accurate registrant contact details. Ensure that the information you submit complies with ARCEP's naming charter, particularly that the domain name does not violate third-party rights or prohibited content rules.

    4. Verify contact details and configure DNS. After registration, confirm your contact email if required and point your domain to your hosting provider's nameservers. Keep registrant details up to date, as ARCEP's policies require accurate WHOIS information.

    Typical uses of .tg domain

    .tg domains are most commonly used by businesses, organizations, and individuals with a presence in or connection to Togo. Companies operating in the Togolese market often prefer .tg to signal local relevance and build trust with domestic audiences. Government bodies and public administrations use dedicated second-level labels such as .gouv.tg and .admin.tg, while associations and NGOs gravitate toward .asso.tg and .org.tg. Individuals can register under .nom.tg, and trademark holders may use .tm.tg to protect their brand identity online within the Togo namespace.

    Tips for registering .tg domain

    • Second-level structure matters. Before registering, decide whether a direct second-level registration (example.tg) or a category-specific third-level label (e.g., .com.tg, .edu.tg, .asso.tg) better fits your organization type, as ARCEP's naming charter assigns specific categories to different entity types.
    • Character rules are strict. Domain names must use only letters A–Z (French alphabet), digits 0–9, and hyphens; single-character and two-letter names are not permitted, and hyphens cannot appear at the start, end, or in the third and fourth positions.
    • Content compliance is enforced. ARCEP's naming charter prohibits domain names that infringe third-party rights, cause public confusion, or contain racially offensive or morally objectionable terms — registrants should review these rules before choosing a name.
    • WHOIS accuracy is required. Registrant contact information must be accurate and kept up to date; providing false details may put the registration at risk.
    • International registrants are welcome. There is no residency or local-presence requirement, so businesses and individuals outside Togo can register .tg domains without needing a local administrative contact.

    Who operates .tg domain?The registry for .tg domains is ARCEP, administered by Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques et des Postes (ARCEP).
    Who can register a .tg domain?

    Both legal entities and individuals worldwide are eligible to register .tg domains, making it one of the more open ccTLDs. Legal entities include private and public companies, associations, NGOs, government bodies, and trademark holders registered with WIPO, OAPI, or Togo's INPIT. Individual registrants simply need to be adults — there is no requirement to reside in Togo, though adults domiciled there are also explicitly covered. Trademark holders have the additional option of registering under the dedicated .tm.tg second-level label.

    Can I transfer a .tg domain between registrars?

    Inter-registrar transfers for .tg domains follow a process similar to other ccTLDs, typically requiring an authorization code (also called an EPP or auth code) from the losing registrar. Because .tg is managed through ARCEP and has a smaller pool of accredited registrars than major gTLDs, it is worth confirming that your target registrar supports inbound .tg transfers before initiating the process. Some registrars impose a short transfer lock period after a new registration, so check your registrar's specific policy before requesting a transfer shortly after registration.

    What second-level domain categories are available under .tg?

    ARCEP maintains a structured set of second-level labels for different entity types. These include .com.tg for commercial entities, .org.tg for international organizations and NGOs, .asso.tg for associations, .edu.tg for educational institutions, .gouv.tg for government structures, .admin.tg for public administrations, .nom.tg for individuals, .net.tg for network and ISPs, .info.tg for information publishers, and .tm.tg for registered trademark holders. Geographic labels also exist for municipalities (.mairie.tg), prefectures (.prefecture.tg), cities (.ville.tg), cantons (.canton.tg), and villages (.village.tg).

    Are there dispute resolution procedures for .tg domain names?

    ARCEP's naming charter includes content and rights-protection rules that prohibit registrations infringing on third-party rights, trademarks, or the name and reputation of any individual or legal entity. Trademark holders registered with WIPO, OAPI, or INPIT are explicitly recognized as eligible registrants, which provides a basis for challenging conflicting registrations. For disputes involving internationally registered trademarks, ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) may also be applicable depending on the registrar used. Prospective registrants with trademark concerns should review both ARCEP's charter and their registrar's dispute procedures before or after registration.

    What naming rules could cause a .tg registration to be rejected?

    ARCEP's naming charter sets out several technical and content-based grounds for rejection. Technically, names consisting of a single character or only two letters are not allowed, names cannot start or end with a hyphen, and hyphens cannot occupy the third and fourth character positions simultaneously. On content grounds, names that infringe competition law, third-party intellectual property rights, morality, public order, or national security will be refused. Names that could cause confusion about a person's or organization's identity, or that use racially offensive or religiously disrespectful terms, are also prohibited.
