.jp is the country code extension for Japan, and is managed by JPRS (Japan Registry Services). Japan is one of the world’s largest economies and has one of the most developed online markets.

Japanese consumers place a great deal of trust in websites with a .jp extension, so a .jp address is virtually essential if you wish to sell there. The extension also gives you an advantage in Japanese search results and conveys a sense of quality and reliability.

How long will it take to be ready?

New domain registration

The registration of .jp domains is an automated process, so registration is virtually instantaneous; you can start using your new domain name within a few minutes of placing your order.

Domain transfer

To transfer your existing .jp domain name to us, you will need to disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the authorisation (Auth) code for the domain. The transfer process usually takes a few days.

How many characters can it be?

The domain name extension in .jp must be at least 3 and no more than 63 characters long.

Special characters

With the .jp extension, special (accented) characters cannot be used in the domain name.
