.md registration
.md is Moldova’s country-code domain extension. It suits Moldovan businesses, public-facing services, local organizations, and projects whose name or subject benefits from the “MD” association. Individuals and legal entities from different countries can register, but the registry requires identifying information appropriate to the holder’s legal form. Individuals must provide an identity document number, such as a passport or national ID number. Moldovan legal entities need their tax code and bank details, including the account name, BIC, and IBAN, together with VAT status and a VAT number where applicable. EU legal entities provide an EU VAT number, while companies registered elsewhere provide their official company registration number. The registry may request further information to verify the holder and confirm compliance. Available .md names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Labels must contain between 2 and 63 characters. There is no separate application process, although accurate registrant data is essential to avoid delays or follow-up checks. To transfer a .md domain to host.yt, remove any transfer protection and obtain the authorization code from the current registrar. Transfers may take several days and do not change the domain’s expiration date. A holder change requires email authentication by both the current and future holders; the request is cancelled if validation is not completed within five days.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .md extension stand for?
md is the country-code domain extension assigned to Moldova. It gives websites a clear Moldovan association and is commonly relevant to local businesses, organizations, services, and publications. The letters can also support projects that naturally use “MD” as part of their name or professional identity.
Who can register a .md domain?
Individuals and legal entities can register .md domains, including holders based outside Moldova. The required registrant information varies by legal form and country. Individuals provide identification details, while companies provide the applicable tax, VAT, banking, or official registration information for their jurisdiction.
Are there restrictions or required documents for .md registration?
Yes. Individuals must provide an ID or passport number. Moldovan companies need a tax code, bank account name, BIC, IBAN, and VAT details where applicable. EU companies provide an EU VAT number, while companies from other countries provide their legal registration number. Additional verification information may be requested.
Is .md a good choice, and what projects suit it?
md is a practical choice for projects connected with Moldova, including companies serving Moldovan customers, local organizations, regional platforms, and informational services. It can also work for a brand that already uses “MD,” provided the meaning is clear to its intended audience.
When does .md make more sense than .com?
Choose .md when a Moldovan identity, local market focus, or established “MD” brand meaning is central to the project. Choose .com when broad international familiarity matters more. The trade-off is clear: .md offers stronger geographic or naming relevance, while .com is more universally recognized.
How quickly is .md registered, and how long does registration last?
md names are allocated first come, first served, without a separate application procedure. Processing may take longer if the registry requests additional registrant information or verification. Confirm the applicable registration term before placing the order, and use the recorded expiration date to plan renewals.
How do I transfer a .md domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code when starting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Transferring does not change the existing expiration date, so check the renewal schedule before initiating a transfer close to expiry.
