Why a .vn domain
- Vietnamese customers recognise and trust .vn addresses.
- .vn names are protected under Vietnamese law, which helps defend your brand.
- It signals that you operate in Vietnam.
Can foreigners register .vn?
In general, yes. Foreign individuals and companies can register .vn names through a VNNIC-accredited registrar. Some second-level names such as .gov.vn or .edu.vn are reserved for specific organisations. Rules are updated from time to time, so your registrar confirms the current requirements.
Documents you need
- Individuals: a valid passport.
- Companies: registration documents and the representative’s details.
Details must match your documents exactly. The registrar walks you through identity verification.
.vn or .com.vn
.vn is short and brandable. .com.vn is the familiar choice for companies and shops. Many businesses register both and point them to one site.
