.tv is a country-code top-level domain, delegated in 1996, and IANA records Ministry of Transport, Energy, Communications and Innovations as its ccTLD manager, in Tuvalu. The registry points registrants at turnon.tv for registration services. That delegation record was last updated on 5 Aug 2026; if the registry has changed hands since, IANA is where it shows up first.

Anyone may register, anywhere: the registry states there are no residency requirements for .tv and that names go first come, first served — despite .tv being Tuvalu's country code. GoDaddy Registry runs .tv under the same universal terms as its gTLDs, which require a registrant to be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract.

Availability of .tv names is checked against the registry's own RDAP server (rdap.nic.tv) and DNS-over-HTTPS. Premium suspects (such as very short names) and brand-protected labels also get a third signal, Fastly Domain Research, before they are shown as available.
The lowest renewal among the 3 registrars we track is $26.26 a year at Porkbun. The highest is $49.99 at GoDaddy, so the same .tv name costs $23.73 a year more depending on where it sits. Prices verified between 13 Sep 2026 and 4 Oct 2026.
Not at the registrars we track: none of the 3 renews .tv at more than 1.8× its first-year price. The 3-year column is registration plus two renewals, so a change would show there.
3 of the six registrars in our price table: Porkbun, OVHcloud and GoDaddy. The others either do not sell .tv or have not been re-verified recently enough to show, and a price we cannot re-verify is not printed. Each row carries its own verification date; these were verified between 13 Sep 2026 and 4 Oct 2026.
