This page explains special requirements for domains with the .br extension.
While .br is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Brazil, only the second-level extension, .com.br, is available for registration here at WordPress.com.
Registration of .com.br domains requires manual approval; therefore, it is asynchronous and can take up to 3 business days to process.
To register a new .com.br domain, please take the following steps:
- Visit your site’s dashboard.
- Navigate to Upgrades → Domains.
- Click the “Add a domain” button and choose “Search for a domain”.
- Click “Select” next to the domain you wish to register.
- Continue through to the checkout screen and complete the purchase.
- Wait for up to 3 days for your registration approval. You will be notified via email upon successful registration.
Transferring a .br domain involves a few steps. To initiate the process, please contact us using the account/email that owns the domain.
We do not currently accept incoming domain transfers for br(.br) TLD domains. Please use the Domain Connection option instead.
WordPress.com uses Toweb Brasil as a trustee service for .com.br domains, which means Toweb will be listed as the domain holder in the Registro.br Whois records and you will appear as a technical contact. This will not affect your domain ownership and you can still manage the domain through WordPress.com.
Private registration is not supported for .com.br domains.
