Registration
The Billing-Contact as well as the Owner-Contact need a local presence in Brazil. Therefore you can use our trustee service or provide us with your Brazilian register number (for the owner contact) and a Brazilian contact handle (for the billing contact).
Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:
Valid CPF number (Social security number) for private owner contact (CPF must be given in the following format: NNN.NNN.NNN-NN)
Valid CNPJ number (VAT number) for company owner contact (CNPJ must be given in the following format: NN.NNN.NNN/NNNN-NN)
Preconfigured DNS zone with at least 1 valid A-record. Zone can be verified via registry's DNS checker
In case of a Brazilian contact the two letter state value is mandatory:
Acre - AC
Alagoas - AL
Amapá - AP
Amazonas - AM
Bahia - BA
Ceará - CE
Distrito Federal - DF
Espíríto Santo - ES
Goiás - GO
Maranhão - MA
Mato Grosso - MT
Mato Grosso do Sul - MS
Minas Gerais - MG
Pará - PA
Paraíba - PB
Paraná - PR
Pernambuco - PE
Piauí - PI
Rio de Janeiro - RJ
Rio Grande do Norte - RN
Rio Grande do Sul - RS
Rondônia - RO
Roraima - RR
Santa Catarina - SC
São Paulo - SP
Sergipe - SE
Tocantins - TO
NB: for registered domain names, their variations with additional ASCII characters are not possible. i.e. if domainname.org.br is registered, domain-name.org.br can't be registered. Such variations can be registered by the original domain owner only.
Important: 
In order for an organization to be eligible for ORG.BR name registrations, it must prove it is a non-governmental and a not-for-profit organization. Therefore our trustee service can NOT be used. After registration of a .org.br domain it is reserved for two weeks while the registry waits for the documents proving non-profit status.
Registrations are not real-time and can take up to 14 days.
Transfer
Since the trustee service is NOT available for ORG.BR domain names, the transfer is done by the domain owner himself on registry website. The customer needs to login and select "Toweb Brazil" as the new registrar. Additionally, you should request a transfer in our system, so we know to which account we have to assign the domain as soon as it was transferred by the domain holder.
