.mr registration
.mr is Mauritania’s country-code domain extension. It is intended for individuals who live in Mauritania, companies registered there, Mauritanian citizens, and applicants whose chosen domain matches a trademark. The eligibility category is mandatory, so the registrant must identify the basis on which the name qualifies. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, with no special registration procedure beyond the registry’s eligibility checks. A .mr label may contain from 1 to 63 characters. The registry may request additional owner information to confirm identity and compliance. If eligibility rests on a matching trademark, the trademark name and number are also required. This extension suits Mauritanian businesses, public-facing services, community initiatives, and personal projects that want a clear association with Mauritania. It can also support a brand using a protected mark, provided the domain matches that trademark and the required trademark details are supplied. To transfer an existing .mr domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar and obtain the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .mr extension stand for?
mr is the country-code top-level domain for Mauritania. It gives a web address a direct Mauritanian identity, making it useful for organizations, citizens, residents, and brands that need a locally relevant namespace and meet one of the registry’s defined eligibility categories.
Who can register a .mr domain?
A .mr domain can be registered by an individual residing in Mauritania, a company registered in Mauritania, or a Mauritanian citizen. Registration is also possible when the requested domain matches the registrant’s trademark, subject to submission of the trademark name and registration number.
Are there restrictions or document requirements for .mr registration?
Yes. Every application must specify its eligibility basis. The registry may request additional owner information to verify identity and compliance with its rules. When eligibility is based on a matching trademark, both the trademark name and trademark number are mandatory. Domain labels must contain 1–63 characters.
Is .mr a good choice, and what projects suit it?
mr is a practical choice for businesses registered in Mauritania, Mauritanian citizens, local residents, and projects serving a Mauritanian audience. It also fits trademark-backed brand sites when the requested name matches the trademark. Its main value is a clear, specific connection to Mauritania.
When does .mr make more sense than .com?
Choose .mr when Mauritanian identity, local relevance, or eligibility through a Mauritanian presence or matching trademark is central to the project. Choose .com when the main priority is a broadly recognized international address. The trade-off is stronger geographic meaning with .mr versus wider global familiarity with .com.
How quickly is .mr registered, and how long does it last?
mr names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, with processing influenced by any eligibility verification the registry requests. Once active, the domain remains registered until its recorded expiry date. Renew it before that date to maintain control; a completed transfer adds one year to the expiry date.
How do I transfer a .mr domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protections through your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorization code. Provide that code when submitting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
