About the .PF domain
What is the .PF domain?
Registration is strictly limited to entities with physical presence or a registered trademark in French Polynesia: a local address is mandatory, and proof of eligibility must be provided during the process. Required documentation varies by applicant type: associations must provide an ISPF T.A.H.I.T.I number certificate; companies basing their application on a trademark need the corresponding certificate from INPI (the French National Institute of Industrial Property); companies with no trademark must submit a Territorial Business Directory registration certificate (an extract from the Trade and Companies Register); and individuals need a scanned copy of their French Polynesian ID. The requested domain name must match the company name registered in French Polynesia, and regulations prohibit offensive terms, generic words, or names infringing third-party rights or public order.
Registration requires physical presence or a registered trademark in French Polynesia, with specific documentation depending on applicant type: associations need an ISPF T.A.H.I.T.I number certificate; trademark-based companies need an INPI certificate; non-trademark companies need a Territorial Business Directory registration certificate; and individuals need a copy of their French Polynesian ID. The domain name must match the company name. Check with our team to confirm availability and exact requirements.
