Frequently asked questions
Is TWNIC ICANN-accredited?
Yes. TWNIC is on the ICANN list of accredited registrars, so it can register generic extensions such as .com directly with the registries.
What is TWNIC's IANA ID?
1897. The IANA registrar ID appears in the registrar field of a domain's public record, so it shows which registrar a domain is with.
What other names does TWNIC operate under?
Its accreditations are also held as Taiwan Network Information Center. Domains registered through any of them can show those names as the registrar.
Does TWNIC have an API?
Not one that account holders can use. Accreditation held by the .tw registry operator itself, not a retail registrar. TWNIC domains come into Lemon Domains by paste or CSV import instead.
