Who can register .ASIA domain names?
All .ASIA registrants must meet Charter Eligibility Requirements by declaring a legal entity in the Asia/Australia/Pacific* region as a contact associated with the domain name.

Anyone can register .ASIA domain names with Netfirms because we fulfill mandatory Charter Eligibility Requirements for you. If you don't have a contact in Asia/Australia/Pacific** you can assign Netfirms as your Charter Eligibility Declaration Contact (CED).

Note: The £5.00 per year per CED domain charge is non-refundable. In addition, once you select Netfirms as your CED, you cannot change your selection until your domain renews.

What if I have a contact in Asia?
If you have a contact in Asia, as defined by ICANN**, you can save £5.00 per year per domain. When signing up for a .ASIA domain, select "No" for the option to use Netfirms as your CED contact. You will be required to provide substantiating evidence that validates your contact in Asia.

In most cases, your contact should qualify as one of the following:

• Corporation or Company: Must provide certificate of incorporation, business number, or equivalent.
• Naturalized person: Must provide proof of citizenship using a valid passport number.
