Argentina
Overview
Argentine identity and tax numbers govern access to .ar: a registrant must hold a DNI, a CUIT, or a CUIL, which confines the namespace to people and entities with formal standing in the country. NIC Argentina administers the extension, delegated in 1987, with approximately 600,000 domains registered. Most activity has historically run through .com.ar; direct registration at the second level became available in 2019, offering a shorter alternative.
