Korea
The .kr top-level domain is the country-code domain for the Republic of Korea (South Korea). It is managed by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and is primarily used by individuals, businesses, and organizations with a physical presence in South Korea. Registrations are available at the second level (e.g., example.kr) or under restricted second-level domains for specific entities such as commercial companies (.co.kr), government agencies (.go.kr), educational institutions (.ac.kr), and individuals (.pe.kr).
Registrants must have a postal address within the Republic of Korea. Different second-level domains have additional restrictions based on entity type (e.g., .go.kr is for Korean governmental authorities, .ac.kr for accredited educational institutions).
Registration pricing for .kr is not publicly listed. Contact an ICANN-accredited registrar for availability and pricing.
The .kr domain was delegated on September 29, 1986, making it one of the earliest country-code top-level domains. It has been managed since its inception by the Korea Network Information Center (KRNIC), which became part of the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) in 2014. The domain supports both Latin and Hangeul (Korean script) characters, reflecting South Korea's digital identity.
