Country Code

Overview

Nearly all activity under Brazil's country code occurs one level down, principally beneath .com.br rather than at .br directly. The Comite Gestor da Internet no Brasil administers the registry, which holds roughly 5 million domains and is the largest in Latin America. Eligibility is tied to Brazilian tax identity: individuals must hold a CPF and businesses a CNPJ. Delegated in 1989, the extension has expanded in step with the country's internet market, and the registry signs its zone with DNSSEC.
