# Best domain registrars in Chile

None of the registrars we track sell .cl, so a Chilean buyer who wants the local string has to go through NIC Chile's own registry channel or one of its accredited registrars. The good news is that the rules are among the most open in Latin America: any natural or legal person, Chilean or foreign, may hold a .cl name, and since the 2013 rules foreign registrants no longer need a representative domiciled in Chile. Appointing an administrative contact is mandatory, and that contact represents the holder in any dispute. For .com and other gTLDs, the global registrars we track are cheaper at renewal than most Chilean resellers.

## ccTLDs

### .cl

Chile's country code, the default identity for Chilean businesses and institutions.

- Eligibility: Open. Any natural or legal person, domestic or foreign, may register. No local representative or domicile in Chile is required.
- Notes: NIC Chile, run by the University of Chile, operates the registry and has run a registrar accreditation programme since 2019. An administrative contact is mandatory and acts as the holder's representative for regulatory purposes including dispute resolution. NIC Chile reserves the right to request information verifying the holder's identity.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD
