To record a domain name registered abroad, you typically need to follow these steps:
Check Local Regulations: Some countries require foreign-registered domains to be recorded with a local authority if they are used for business or services targeting that country. For example, China requires foreign domain names used in commercial activities to be recorded with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
Provide Required Documents: Usually, you need to submit proof of business registration, domain ownership, and contact details. Some countries may also require a local representative or legal entity.
Use a Local Registrar or Agent: If the domain is not directly registrable in the target country (e.g., .cn for China), you may need to use a local registrar or an authorized agent to complete the recording process.
Comply with ICANN Rules: Ensure the domain’s WHOIS information is accurate and up-to-date, as some countries enforce ICANN compliance alongside local laws.
Example: If a U.S.-based company registers a .cn domain for its Chinese website, it must complete the MIIT recording process by submitting business licenses and appointing a local contact.
For cloud-based domain management, Tencent Cloud Domain Name Service (DNSPod) can help manage domain records, DNS settings, and compliance requirements, including ICANN and local regulations. It also supports multi-country domain registration and management.
