Who can apply for .af Domain Registration?

.af Domain Registration is open to both domestic and international applicants. While it is the primary choice for Afghan citizens and companies, individuals and businesses worldwide can register a .af domain to protect their trademark or target the Afghan market. No local presence is required for the standard .af extension.

How does a .af domain help my local SEO?

Google and other major search engines treat .af Domain Registration as a primary geographic indicator. This means that for any search query originating in Afghanistan, your site will naturally rank higher than sites using generic extensions like .com or .net, leading to better visibility and higher click-through rates (CTR).

What are the technical requirements for registration?

A .af domain name must be between 2 and 63 characters long. It can include letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-), provided the hyphen is not at the beginning or the end of the name. Registration is typically processed within 24–48 hours after the submission of the required contact details.

Can I register third-level domains like .com.af or .net.af?

Yes. In addition to the standard second-level .af, we offer specialized .af Domain Registration for specific sectors, including .com.af for commercial businesses, .net.af for network providers, and .org.af for non-profit organizations. Each carries the same localized SEO weight but offers a more specific category for your brand.
