Questions before you register or transfer a .TL?

Review the registry, eligibility, namespace, DNS, transfer, renewal, bulk, and reseller details that matter for this extension.

What is a .TL domain and who manages it?

.TL is the country-code top-level domain for Timor-Leste. IANA lists the Autoridade Nacional de Comunicações as the ccTLD manager, with CoCCA Registry Services providing the technical registry contact.

Who can register a .TL domain?

Supporting registrars commonly offer .TL to individuals and organizations without a local-presence requirement. Applicants must still provide accurate contact information and follow current registry and registrar terms.

Are .TL names registered directly under the country code?

Yes. Customer-facing .TL registrations use direct second-level names such as example.tl, giving the website a short Timor-Leste address.

What is a good use for a .TL domain?

.TL is suitable for Timor-Leste businesses, tourism, education, development programs, nonprofits, professional services, public-interest information, and international brands serving the country.

What information should I prepare for .TL registration?

Prepare the registrant’s legal name, current address, email, phone number, administrative and technical contacts, and working nameservers. The registry or registrar may request corrections when information is incomplete.

How do I transfer a .TL domain?

Confirm that the domain is eligible, remove transfer protection where applicable, obtain the authorization code from the current registrar, and follow the NiceNIC transfer process.

What DNS details matter for .TL?

Use authoritative nameservers that answer correctly, keep the technical contact current, and test the website and email DNS records after registration or transfer. DNSSEC availability depends on the selected registrar and DNS service.

How should I manage .TL renewal and ownership?

Renew before expiry, keep the registrant email accessible, and make sure the organization—not an outside developer or former employee—controls the account and domain contacts.

Can NiceNIC help manage multiple .TL names?

Yes. NiceNIC can help customers search multiple candidates through the bulk workflow, organize DNS and renewal schedules, manage eligible transfers, and use the reseller program for supported portfolio operations.

Secure the .TL name before someone else does.

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