Individuals and companies outside China can register .COM.CN domains. Complete identity verification first, then register with your approved registrant profile.
You do not need a Chinese ID or a company registered in China.
Company or Organization Outside China
Please provide:
- A valid Certificate of Incorporation, business registration certificate, or equivalent official document
- The complete legal company name
- The company registration number
The company name and registration number must exactly match the official document.

We will contact you if a correction is required.

Important:
Complete real-name verification before registering. A domain search does not reserve the name, and unclear, expired, incomplete, or mismatched documents may delay approval.
Why choose NiceNIC for .COM.CN
A China-focused commercial domain with a clear verification path.

Crypto Payment Support
Add funds and pay for domain services using supported crypto options such as USDT, BTC, ETH, and LTC. Automated crypto deposit recording helps account balances update quickly after successful confirmation, with no extra NiceNIC processing fee for automated deposits.
Real Human Support
NiceNIC provides real human support, not only scripted replies. Our team can review your domain needs, explain practical options, and give account-level, transfer, bulk registration, and reseller suggestions to help your domain business grow.
Fair Abuse Review Process

Questions before you register or transfer a .COM.CN?
Short answers about eligibility, CNNIC real-name verification, registration terms, transfers, bulk management, and reseller support.
1. What is a .COM.CN domain?
.COM.CN is the country-code top-level domain for China. It is managed by CNNIC, the China Internet Network Information Center. Businesses, brands, organizations, and individuals commonly use .COM.CN domains for websites and projects connected with the Chinese market.
2. Can individuals and companies outside China register .COM.CN domains?
Yes. Individuals and legally registered companies outside China can register .COM.CN domains. A Chinese ID, Chinese address, or company registered in China is not required.
All applicants must complete the real-name verification required by CNNIC.
3. Is real-name verification required before registering a .COM.CN domain?
Yes. The registrant must pass real-name verification before the .COM.CN registration can be completed.
Create and verify the registrant profile first. After approval, select the verified profile when submitting the domain registration.
4. What document does an individual outside China need?
An individual applicant outside China must provide a clear copy of a valid passport.
The registrant's full name and passport number must be entered exactly as shown on the passport. Differences in spelling, name order, or document number may cause the verification to fail.
5. What document does a company outside China need?
A company or organization outside China must provide a valid Certificate of Incorporation, business registration certificate, or equivalent official registration document.
The legal company name and registration number in the registrant profile must exactly match the submitted document.
6. Why might a .COM.CN real-name verification request be rejected?
Common reasons include:
- The document is blurred, incomplete, or expired
- The name or document number does not exactly match
- The wrong document type was submitted
- Required information is missing or cannot be verified
NiceNIC will notify you if corrected information or an additional document is required.
7. How long does .COM.CN real-name verification take?
The processing time depends on the completeness of the information, the quality of the uploaded document, and the Registry's review.
Submitting a clear and valid document with exactly matching registrant information helps prevent unnecessary delays. NiceNIC will update you if further action is needed.
8. Do .COM.CN domains have the same verification requirement?
Yes. .COM.CN registrations require an approved registrant profile and real-name verification. The required document depends on whether the registrant is an individual or an organization.
9. Can one verified registrant profile be used for multiple .COM.CN domains?
Yes. An approved registrant profile can be used for multiple .COM.CN registrations when the same verified individual or organization will own all the domains.
A new verification may be required if the registrant changes or the Registry requests updated documentation.
Secure the .COM.CN name before someone else does.
Register a new .COM.CN, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
