Article Talk

The .br domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Brazil. It is managed under the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) with registry operations by NIC.br.

Overview

.br is the largest country-code domain in the Americas. Most public registrations historically used second-level spaces such as .com.br. Eligibility generally requires a Brazilian presence (for example a CPF/CNPJ identifier) via an accredited registrar, so overseas registrants often need a local contact or trustee service.

Usage

Brazilian companies, banks, retailers, and government sites rely heavily on .br / .com.br for local trust and SEO. Brands entering Brazil typically secure .com.br early.
