Real-name verification for .cn domain names

You must complete real-name verification after you register a .cn domain name. This topic describes real-name verification for China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) templates and .cn domain names.

Background information

.cn domain names are the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the People's Republic of China. The .cn domain names use .cn as the suffix, including domain names that are directly registered at the second or third level.

cn indicates the People's Republic of China. CNNIC is the domain name registry that manages the .cn domain name system and the central database.
