Questions before you register or transfer a .CO.JP?

Check the eligibility, documents, local requirements, transfer steps, and domain-management options that can affect your .CO.JP registration.

Who can register a .CO.JP domain?

CO.JP can be registered by companies legally registered in Japan. JPRS also lists eligible foreign companies that are registered in Japan. If your company qualifies, you can check .CO.JP availability before starting the registration process.

Can a company outside Japan register .CO.JP without a Japanese registration?

A foreign company generally needs to be registered in Japan to qualify for CO.JP. A company with no qualifying Japanese registration should consider another JP domain type or other domain extensions available through NiceNIC.

How many .CO.JP domains can one company register?

JPRS states that organization-type JP domains are generally limited to one domain per organization, although JPRS provides specific exception and restriction-relaxation mechanisms in applicable cases.

Can a newly forming company apply for .CO.JP?

JPRS provides a provisional-registration system for certain organization-type JP domains before the organization is fully established, subject to its detailed rules and deadlines.

Why is .CO.JP popular with Japanese companies?

The suffix is specifically associated with eligible corporate organizations in Japan, so it gives customers a clear signal that the website represents a Japanese-registered company. If .CO.JP fits your business, you can search for your company name directly on this page.

How do I move management of a .CO.JP domain to another registrar?

JP domain management changes are handled through a JP Registrar. The gaining registrar coordinates the applicable JPRS procedure, so prepare the current domain and organization information before requesting the change. You can also review NiceNIC domain transfer services.

Can NiceNIC help manage .CO.JP DNS and renewals?

For supported registrations, NiceNIC can help organize domain management, DNS settings, renewal planning, and account-level administration after the domain is active. Customers managing multiple names can also use bulk domain management tools.

Can agencies or resellers manage .CO.JP for clients?

Yes, domain service providers can assist eligible corporate clients, but the actual registrant must satisfy JPRS eligibility and organization rules for the CO.JP name. Agencies and platforms can also review the NiceNIC reseller API for supported domain-management workflows.

What should I confirm before ordering .CO.JP?

Confirm that the registrant is an eligible company registered in Japan, check whether the organization already holds an organization-type JP domain, choose the matching corporate name, and prepare accurate company information. When ready, check your .CO.JP domain and begin the registration process.

Secure the .CO.JP name before someone else does.

Register a new .CO.JP, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
