Domain Name Registration

To register a country code top-level domain name in Thailand, such as “.co.th”, a company must have either have a physical presence in Thailand or, must be the owner of a registered mark in Thailand that includes exactly the same word as the domain name. The mark must be registered. One cannot register a domain name based on a pending mark that has not been granted registration. The trademark may contain other elements such as a logo or other wording, but the main word in the mark must be the same word that will be registered as the domain name.

To register a domain name, we would need the following:

  1.  Domain name to be registered

  2.  Business name and description of business

  3.  Administrative Contact, Technical Contact and, Billing

       Contact (for each of these 3 individual persons):

- NIC handle, if any
- Name
- Business name
- Complete address
- Telephone number
- Fax number
- E-mail address

These 3 individual contacts can be anyone, located anywhere in the world. We would need the names of real (natural) persons, not just the name of the company or department. An attorney of our firm may be appointed as administrative and/or billing contact. We would also need:

  4.  Primary Name Server

  - Primary Server Hostname
  - Primary Server Netaddress

  5.  Secondary Name Server(s)

  - Secondary Server(s) Hostname
  - Secondary Server(s) Netaddress

  6.  For a company with a physical presence in Thailand, we

       need a certified copy of the business registration certificate

       issued by the Department of Business Development,

       Ministry of Commerce.

  7.  The existence of a subsidiary or related company will not

       satisfy the physical presence requirement. However, a

       domain may be registered in the subsidiary or related

       company’s name instead of in the name of the parent   

       company.

  8.  A domain name may be registered for the initial period of 2

       years and then may be renewed for subsequent 1-year    

       periods.
