About the .AR domain
What is the .AR domain?
Unlike many ccTLDs that have liberalized over the years, .ar maintains a genuine tax-identification policy: the registrant must hold a valid CUIT (Clave Única de Identificación Tributaria), CUIL, or CDI (an identification number for non-resident foreigners who do not yet have a DNI) in Argentina. International applicants without local presence can still register their .ar by appointing a legal representative within Argentina holding a valid Tax ID — a common route for foreign companies wanting to project presence in the Argentine market without incorporating a company in the country.
This extension requires a valid CUIT, CUIL, or CDI for individuals or entities in Argentina. International applicants without local presence must appoint a legal representative in Argentina holding a valid Tax ID. Check with our team to confirm availability and exact requirements.
