Can you register .cx Domain Without Local Presence?

Yes! Anyone can purchase a .cx domain name regardless of their location. However, the contact information provided during registration must match that listed on whois records. People are generally discouraged from using free email services that don't allow for verification.

Since Christmas Island has its own Internet administration, it follows the same rules as all other top-level domains in terms of registration requirements. You'll need to have the appropriate documentation and authorization from your local government.

What documents do you need to register .cx Domain Name?

Registration of .cx domain names requires that the registrant provide proof of identity, contact information and other basic registration information. You will need the following documents to complete the process:

A copy of your passport or birth certificate. This should be a certified document that states your full name, date and place of birth, citizenship details including country code and any other personal information required for .cx domain registration.

If you are using an official ID issued by another country (a foreign driver's license), you must also provide a copy of your current residence permit or visa.

A letter from the immigration department confirming that you are listed in their records and residing on Christmas Island at the time of .cx domain registration. This should be an original document, so photocopies won't suffice even if they're certified copies. You can get this through a fax or a scanned version sent via email.

A valid passport, certificate of incorporation or another form of identification that proves your connection to the island.

How much does .cx Domain Name cost?

The price of a single domain is $85 per year, plus ICANN's new gTLD application fee. There are also registration fees if the desired name isn't available on whois records. However, you can get discounts for bulk purchases. Discounts may also be available for non-profit organizations.
