    No. You have to play FIDE rated tournaments in order to get a rating.

It is not possible to get a FIDE rating based on Chess.com rating.

First you need to join the Fide Online Community, by registering there and then start playing to get your own rating here.

Chess.com is a private organization that is not affiliated with FIDE (the World Chess Federation). Also, Chess.com's ratings are based on online play (and so unofficial), whereas FIDE only rates official, over-the-board tournaments. So it is not possible to get a FIDE rating based on Chess.com rating.

You can get a FIDE rating by playing in a tournament that will get rated by FIDE.

    IMHO this is more a comment to @overtheboard answer than an answer to the question
