To register a .hk domain name, you need to check the availability of the domain name beforehand and prepare the relevant document(s) if necessary. Domain name registration can be performed online by completing the online registration process according to the following steps:

Step 1: Check the availability of the domain name at “Register .hk domain name” on the front page.

Step 2: Choose domain and more services.

Step 3: Choose contract year

Step 4: Read and accept Registration Agreement, Rules and Important Notice

Step 5: Review and confirm payment amount and contract year.

Step 6: Input Registrant information, other contact information and Name Server information (Name servers are now using parking by default. If you want to modify, please click to modify).

Step 7: Make payment online or quite the page if you are using other payment method. Then submit your application and record the tracking number (NDNxxxxxxx) and domain name information shown. Meanwhile, send the required fees (the customer that paid online can omit that) and required document(s) that marked with the tracking number and domain name to HKDNR within 14 calendar days. You can also upload the document(s) to our website or submit it by email enquiry@hkdnr.hk or fax +852 2319 2626.

* Please also note that if you/your company has an existing domain name that is currently under Old Agreement, your new registration application will bind your existing domain name to the latest HKDNR Registration Agreement.

Before proceeding with the online registration, please have the required documents ready (refer to Document(s) for details). When filling in the information, make sure that all the data entered are correct and accurate; for those documents related data, be sure that they are identical with what stated on the documents, ie. the organization name and document number. By completing the online registration procedure, you are then accepted to be bound by the terms and conditions of our latest HKDNR Registration Agreement. Remember to quote the Tracking Number and Domain Name on the document(s) and payment.

Please refer to Document(s) and Payment Methods for details.

Please refer to the following table of fee schedule :

*For all unsuccessful applications, the first $150 (for .idv.hk) or $200 (for other domain names) of the application fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.
#For all unsuccessful applications, the first $500 of the application fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.
**All Fees listed above are subjected to change with 30-day prior notice.

The renewal date of your domain name depends on the contract year you
selected. For details, please refer to the FAQ of Domain Renewal

A domain name can be registered for 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 years. It depends on the domain name type and payment method you choose.

All registrants of domain names that are under or have been upgraded to the latest HKDNR registration agreement are eligible to apply for multiple domain names. For customers whose domain names are under Old Agreement can only register for one .hk domain name.

You can modify your name servers or other contacts information on our website at https://www.hkdnr.hk. For details, please refer to FAQ of Modify Domain Information

There are two scenarios of changing the name of domain name holder: (1) formal change of organization name (details refer to FAQ of Old Contract Domain Name) / individual name (2) change of ownership (details refer to FAQ of Transfer of Domain Ownership).

We will make your domain name related information available to the public at “WHOIS“, but we will not sell or disclose other information about our customers to any external parties. Please refer to our Privacy Policy Statement for details.

Generally speaking, domain names are registered on a first-come, first-served basis. If you think someone has invaded your right in using the domain name, and you have a trademark to back up your claim, please read our Dispute Resolution Policy and contact Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, the appointed .hk domain name dispute resolution provider if you do have such a complaint.

If your domain name has already been successfully registered, some extra services will be available to you. These services include:

• modification of your name server
• modification of administrative contact, technical contact, and billing contact
• deletion of your domain name
• transfer of domain names
• other special services (details will be available upon request)

Since domain names that registered under the latest HKDNR Registration Agreement can be renewed annually, normally we do not accept reservation for any registered domain names.

Other than the domain names that have already been registered, HKIRC has reserved a list of domain names that are not opened to public for registration.
