.FED.REP.BR
.FED.REP.BR (FEDerative REPublic of BRazil) is an extension of domain, dedicated to foreigners or people and organizations that do international business with Brazil.
Unlike extensions like .sp.gov.br (São Paulo state), .com.br, .net.br, .app.br, .xx.xx.nom.br, .rio.br (Riode Janeiro Cirty) , which require Brazilian documentation from registrants and that registrants live or have their headquarters in Brazil, .fed.rep.br, does not require Brazilian documentation or residence in Brazil.
The extension .FED.REP.BR, was created in 2021, to facilitate the registration of domains by foreigners who do not have Brazilian documents or residency in Brazil.
Domain Registration
.FED.REP.BR, is also the acronym for the official name of Brazil in English (FEDerative REPublic of BRazil) and can be registered by:
- Embassies and Consulates;
- Representations and international representatives;
- International, intergovernmental and supranational organizations;
- Foreign companies and individuals;
- Brazilian organizations and individuals who do business abroad.
Operator/registry
Thus, as geographic extensions, such as rj.gov.br (Rio de Janeiro state), .mg.leg.br (for Municipalities of Minas Gerais), the extension .fed.rep.br, is not operated by NIC.br . The operations and registration of .fed.rep.br domains are carried out by FederalNIC, a division of the Brazilian company WHOIS PRIVACY GROUP, specializing in .br domains and one of the largest back-end providers of high-value .br domains rare for foreign registrars.
