Please be aware that no documentation will be requested from your end until your order reaches our database. Once the order arrives in our management system a CN Application email will be sent out to the contact email address on your Instra account containing further information about the requirements and how you can submit the documentation to us.

Trustee Service

If you can't supply all the requested documentation but would still like to register a Chinese domain then our Trustee Service might be the solution for you. What the trustee service does is allows us to register the domain on your behalf but the domain remains offline. This service is for companies and individuals that wish to prevent others from cyber-squatting their domain names in China.

To use the trustee service all you need to do is submit your order and then follow the instructions in the CN Application email (Point 5) that will be sent to you.

If you have any questions about the requirements please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or via the phone number on our contact page.
