Grandfathering registrations of a .TW in Chinese characters are opened for .TW domain names’ holders

The .TW registry (TWNIC) offers grandfathering registrations for holders of existing ASCII.TW domains that wish to register the same ASCII domain under .台灣 (.xn--kpry57d).

Before the official opening, TWNIC provides
priority registration for registrants who meet the eligibility requirements.

For example, twnic.tw can be registered for
twnic.台灣 in the
grandfathering period.

The following eligibility criteria apply and
are checked by the registry:

• The creation date for ACSII.tw should be earlier than the same ASCII name under .台灣 (.xn--kpry57d)

• The registrant of ASCII.台灣 (.xn--kpry57d) should be the same as ASCII.tw

• ASCII.tw and ASCII.台灣 (.xn--kpry57d) should be managed under the same registrar when creating ASCII.台灣.

Grandfathering Period : from January 7th, 2020 to February 10th, 2020.

The ASCII.tw Domain Name “.台灣(.xn--kpry57d)” will be starting  on February 18, 2020.

For more information on the conditions for registration of your .台灣, don’t hesitate to contact us.
