Domain name .MA
Registering a .MA domain runs through a precise regulatory framework — here's exactly how it plays out with an accredited registrar.
The .MA registry enforces rules most people never notice — until a domain gets stuck pending. This page breaks down every step so you know exactly what to expect, from picking a name to going live.
The .ma extensions
Reserve descriptive extensions or sub-extensions of .ma, organized by the activity or title they describe. Some restrictive extensions require an application approved by ANRT.

New rules for registering a .ma domain
Registrant identity stopped being a checkbox the moment decision ANRT/DG/No.02/2024 took effect — it's a real check, run on every file, and it's what keeps your domain active.
On our end
- ✓ Every registrant file gets compared line by line against the national registry before approval.
- ✓ Any inconsistency we catch gets flagged to ANRT — nothing slips through that would stall your file later.
- ✓ Your contact details stay current in the registry for the domain's entire lifetime, with no action needed from you.
Your file's actual path
You reserve the name
Through our platform, in seconds — it's yours the moment the reservation confirms.
You submit your documents
National ID or passport for an individual, business registry for a company, sent from your client area — no email, no lost PDF.
We check it, by hand
Someone on our team reviews every file within 24 hours — not an algorithm that rejects without explanation.
✓ File approved = domain usable. Nothing else to do.
Two statuses worth knowing: pendingCreate and serverHold
pendingCreate
Your file is still in front of ANRT — no action needed on your end, unless an extra document gets requested.
serverHold
The domain paused because the validation window closed without a response — reversible, but it won't reactivate on its own.
What often goes unsaid
- ✓There's no private-WHOIS option for .MA — your registrant details are public in the registry by design, not by a provider's oversight.
- ✓The clock toward serverHold starts at reservation — submitting your documents same-day beats “later this week.”
- ✓A suspended domain isn't gone — our team reopens the file with ANRT, but that adds days you could have avoided.
Registering a domain name containing a restricted term
Assigning a .MA domain name that includes restricted words or expressions (for example: "maroc", "morocco", "gov" and their variants), geographic names, acronyms of public bodies or specific technical terms, as well as any request under the restricted extensions (.AC.MA, .PRESS.MA, .GOV.MA), is subject to strict eligibility criteria and proof of rights.
Check the restricted terms
The National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT) publishes an indicative list of restricted terms that may require prior review.
Get the official form
Retrieve the specific form for registering .ma domains subject to prior validation.
Complete and authenticate the form
Fill in the required information, then sign the form (or affix your organization's official stamp if required).
Submit the file to ANRT
Your complete file is forwarded to ANRT, which reviews and validates the request.
ANRT's final decision
After review, ANRT approves or rejects the domain name registration based on current rules.
