Requirements
Who can register a .emp.br?
- Both the registrant and the billing contact must be based in Brazil. If you don't have a local presence, you can use a local address through a trustee service.
- If you register without a trustee service, you need a Brazilian registration number and the billing contact must have a valid Brazilian address.
- For ORG.BR, the organisation must prove that it's a non-profit non-governmental organisation. A trustee service isn't possible in this case.
- The trustee service isn't available for BLOG.BR either.
- Domain names under .esp.br (sport) and .far.br (pharmacies and chemists) are only for legal entities with a CNPJ number, not for individuals. A trustee service is possible here, though.
- A domain name that has been through more than six consecutive release processes may no longer be available for registration. You can find more information at https://registro.br/dominio/proclib.html.
Additional details for registration
- If you're a Brazilian individual, you provide your CPF number. This is the Brazilian government's tax identification number, in the format NNN.NNN.NNN-NN.
- If you're a Brazilian company, you provide the CNPJ number, in the format NN.NNN.NNN/NNNN-NN.
- If you register with a CPF number, the registrant's date of birth is also required.
- For a Brazilian contact, the two-letter state abbreviation is mandatory, for example SP for São Paulo or RJ for Rio de Janeiro.
Documents
- For a transfer, the current registrant must sign a form and have the signature notarised. You then send the form by post to the NIC.BR address shown on the form.
Good to know when registering
- If you don't provide a date of birth when registering with a CPF number, the registry puts the application on hold. You'll then receive an email with a link to a form on Registro.br where you can enter your date of birth.
- If you don't enter your date of birth within 24 hours, the registry cancels the registration.
- If you register through the trustee service, the trustee's check takes one to three days.
- After registration, it may turn out that there's a competing application for the same name pending at the registry.
Transfer
Transferring a .emp.br
- A transfer is done using a paper form from the registry NIC.BR. The form and the online form on the registry's website are only available in Portuguese.
- The current registrant signs the form and has the signature notarised.
- Then send the form to NIC.BR at the address shown on the form. The registry will then contact the trustee.
