Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to register a .QA domain?
Registering a .QA domain usually takes about 7 days.
What is a .QA domain?
A .QA domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Qatar, ideal for businesses and individuals targeting the local market.
Are there special requirements for registering .QA domains?
Yes. The requirements are: .QA
Open to any company or person, anywhere in the world. No local presence is required and no documents are needed.
Once the domain is registered, the Qatari registry requires us to confirm the owner's phone number: we will contact you and you will need to reply from that number. Please keep the owner's phone and email up to date, because if the number cannot be confirmed the Qatari authorities can delete the domain without a refund.
.COM.QA
Only for companies registered in Qatar. There is no local representative service for this extension anywhere in the market, so if your company is not registered in Qatar, register your name under .QA instead.
The owner needs either a valid Qatari commercial registration (CR) or a trademark registered in Qatar: one of the two is enough, you do not need both. After you place your order we will ask you to upload it, together with the ID of the person who signs and a signed authorisation letter, and the domain stays pending until we receive them.
Every year you have to send us the commercial registration or the trademark again, valid on that date. Paying the renewal is not enough: if the document has expired the registry will not renew the domain, and it is suspended and then deleted 30 days after its expiry date.
These domains are expected to use DNS name servers located in Qatar. You can register and use the domain with any name servers, but the Qatari authorities may suspend a domain that does not follow this rule.
.NET.QA
Reserved for telecom and networking providers: the owner must be a company registered in Qatar whose commercial registration lists telecommunications or network services as its business activity. No other company qualifies, and there is no local representative service for this extension either.
The documents, the yearly renewal rule and the name server rule are the same as for .COM.QA.
Applications for any Qatari domain are reviewed by the authorities, and a domain name that breaks Qatari law can be rejected or deleted. You can read the registry policies here..
