.ma registration
.ma is Morocco’s country-code domain extension, intended for individuals, businesses, organisations, and projects connected with Morocco (Maroc). Registration is available to applicants from any country. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available name can be requested without a separate application procedure. The registry requires information that identifies the domain holder. Individuals must provide an identification number, such as a national identity card or passport number. Legal entities must provide their company or legal-entity registration number. Additional details may occasionally be requested to confirm ownership or compliance with registry rules. A .ma label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. To transfer a .ma domain to host.yt, first disable any transfer protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Processing can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date after the transfer is completed. Changing the holder follows a separate, manually processed procedure. The current holder must sign an update request form, which is sent by email after the order has been validated. The change may take several days. Once completed, it begins a new subscription period, and the domain expires one year after the holder change.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .ma domain extension stand for?
ma is the country-code top-level domain associated with Morocco, also known as Maroc. It gives websites, services, and email addresses a clear Moroccan identity. The extension is particularly relevant to organisations serving people in Morocco or publishing content connected with the country.
Who can register a .ma domain?
Individuals and legal entities from any country can register a .ma domain. Applicants do not need to be based in Morocco. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the registry receiving the required holder identification information.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .ma?
Yes. Individuals must provide an identification number, such as a national identity card or passport number. Legal entities must provide their official registration number. The registry may request further information to identify the holder or confirm compliance. Domain labels must contain between 2 and 63 characters.
Is .ma a good choice, and what projects is it suited to?
ma is well suited to Moroccan businesses, local services, cultural initiatives, tourism projects, public information, and international brands addressing customers in Morocco. Its main value is geographic clarity: visitors can immediately recognise that the website or service has a specific connection to Morocco.
When does .ma make more sense than .com?
Choose .ma when a strong Moroccan identity matters more than broad international neutrality. It clearly signals a focus on Morocco and can support country-specific branding. Choose .com when the project primarily addresses a global audience and you do not want the domain name associated with one country.
How quickly is a .ma domain registered, and how long does it last?
ma names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after the required holder details have been submitted and accepted. Extra verification can extend processing time. The confirmed order displays the applicable registration and expiry dates, allowing you to plan renewal before the domain expires.
How do I transfer a .ma domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection with your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Then submit the transfer request and code to host.yt. Processing may take several days. After completion, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
