.JP Domain General FAQ Japan FAQ - Is it necessary that all application forms and supporting documents are written with Japanese characters?
- Most of the information required upon registration must be written with Japanese characters, though there are certain items which may be in alphanumeric characters. For example, if the legal name of a registrant contains alphabet, the data item for the registrant name may be filled in with alphabet. Please contact us for further details.
- Is there a limit in the number of characters for a general-use JP domain name label?
- A General-use JP domain name containing Kanji, Hiragana, and/or Katakana must consist of one to fifteen (1~15) characters, excluding ".JP" suffix. The number of characters in an ASCII JP domain name must be from three to sixty-three (3~63).
Please note that if ASCII, Kanji, Hiragana and/or Katakana characters coexist in a same label of a General-use JP domain name, each character will be counted as one, whether or not it is of double byte code or single byte code.
- How can I make the registered domain name live on the Internet?
