On February 14, we announced the opening of .TR registrations in category 3. This period was initially open until May 14, 2024.

TRABİS recently announced that this priority period for the “.TR” (category3) application for domains holders will be extended until August 7, 2024.

You still have until August 2024 to apply for a .TR equivalent to your existing .COM.TR / .ORG.TR / .NET.TR domain names.

The .TR opening to all is therefore also postponed, and will be announced at a later date.

Do not hesitate to contact your consultants and account managers if you have not yet reviewed your domain names portfolio in Turkey.

In this article published on October 4, 2023, we announced that the opening of the .TR extension in CATEGORY 3 will probably be in February.

Applications for the 3rd Category, where transactions will be carried out within the scope of the “a.tr Transition Process”, start on February 14, 2024.

In this category, holders of one of the following extensions: kep.tr, av.tr, dr.tr, com.tr, org.tr, net.tr, gen.tr, web.tr, name.tr, info.tr, tv.tr, bbs.tr and tel.tr will be given priority for .TR registration.

Following the application process, which starts on February 14, 2024 and will last for 3 months, it is expected that the evaluation process will be completed and the allocation procedures will be completed within 1 month (14-May-14 June 2024).

The date of your application between 14 February and 14 May 2024 is not important in the evaluation process. If the necessary conditions are met, the evaluation will be made taking into account the extension hierarchy.

Valentine’s Day is a wonderful day to make an analysis of your Turkish domain names portfolio!

Domain names in Turkey have undergone a major process of change and development in recent years. Last year, we announced the liberalization of domain names under the com.tr, net.tr and org.tr extensions.

It’s now a project to open .TR live. The allocation of .TR will be carried out according to a defined schedule with categories under a process called “a.tr Transition Process“:

BTK announces the opening according to these 3 categories:

CATEGORY 1: since 14/09/2023 for a period of 2 months (end of period November 2023):

In this category, priority is given to holders of domain names with the extensions .gov.tr, .edu.tr, .tsk.tr, .bel.tr, .pol.tr and .k12.tr respectively.

For example, for the domain name turkiye.tr, the holder of the domain name turkiye.gov.tr has the right of priority allocation.

CATEGORY 2: from November 2023 to February 2024

In this category, priority will be given to holders of domain names with the “org.tr” extension assigned before 25.08.2023.

The category will be given priority to the following institutions (holder of .org.tr):

• Professional organizations that are public institutions,
• Public interest associations and foundations benefiting from tax exemption,
• Professional organizations of employees or employers.

CATEGORY 3: the date has not yet been announced, but we can deduce that it will be from February 2024.

In this category, holders of domain names under these extensions will have priority: .com.tr, .net.tr, .gen.tr, .web.tr, .info.tr. For this last category, the rules have not yet been defined.

We will keep a close eye on future announcements of the registry and will keep you informed as soon as we have more precise dates for the last category. Please note that the dates of the different periods can be modified if necessary.

Don’t hesitate to prepare your orders and contact your consultants and account managers to review your domain names portfolio in Turkey.
