Looking to establish your project in one of the most dynamic markets in the Gulf? The .qa domain stands for Qatar, a country with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world and an economic diversification strategy that creates opportunities in infrastructure, technology, tourism and financial services.
Since 22 October 2026, registering a .qa domain requires proof of the registrant's eligibility. Eligible registrants include companies with a Qatari Commercial Registration (CR) or trade licence, trademark holders, individuals with a Qatar ID (QID) or residency permit, and organisations, educational institutions and public bodies that meet the registry's requirements. If you are based outside Qatar, a registered trademark related to the domain is usually the way to qualify.
Registration is processed in real time and you have 5 days to submit your documents. Our team reviews them, and if eligibility cannot be confirmed within that period, the domain must be deleted. Please note that .qa domains may not be sold, rented or leased to third parties.
For businesses active in the region, a .qa domain is a clear signal of local presence that builds trust with Qatari partners and customers.
