FIDE rated. Only very few tournaments are organized directly by FIDE.

Technically, yes you can, by playing on FOA ( FIDE online arena ) the ratings and titles are "recognized" by FIDE, but FOA ratings are hidden from plain view on profiles who have them, and no one cares about arena titles. plus in order to get rating recognized by FIDE, you have to pay 50 euro yearly membership ( it might be more ) ,and to get titles there are separate fees.
its just a money farm for FIDE, IMO, would not recommend.

Recently I have seen an AFM and even AGM title in an OTB tournament starting list. Had to look up what it is.

Offline only, hardowork!
