About the .VN domain

What is the .VN domain?

The .vn is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Vietnam, registered in the IANA database on April 14, 1994, and managed by the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (VNNIC), under the Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam.

VNNIC regulations distinguish two registration routes depending on the applicant's address: entities with an address in Vietnam must submit their application through the domestic .vn registration process, while entities with a foreign address — including companies holding a trademark registered in Vietnam — can submit their application through a specific parallel process for registering .vn domains from abroad. In both cases, identity documentation must be provided: a national ID document for individuals, or a valid business registration certificate for companies. If the submitted documentation is incomplete, the applicant has a 7-day window to complete it. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters.
Registration restrictions

Entities with an address in Vietnam must apply through VNNIC's domestic registration process; entities with a foreign address can apply through a parallel registration process for .vn domains from abroad. In both cases, identity documentation is required (a national ID for individuals, a business registration certificate for companies), which must be completed within 7 days if incomplete.
