To order a .tr domain, it is not necessary to have a place of residence or a branch in Turkey. Compared to many other ccTLDs, addresses are not assigned on the second, but only on the third level. Interested parties can choose from , for example, .com.tr , .info.tr and .biz.tr . The former is only approved for companies and must correspond to the company name or a registered trademark , which must be proven by appropriate documents. Both .info.tr and .biz.tr are also open to private individuals without special requirements .

A .tr domain can be between three and 63 characters long. The connection with a European domain registrar takes between three and 10 days. It is unusual that trading with .tr domains is not easily possible because the registry does not support the change of owner. Furthermore, .tr addresses cannot yet be converted into internationalized domain names with special characters .
