About the .MC domain
What is the .MC domain?
It is one of the most restricted-eligibility European extensions: registration is not open to individuals with no business activity. Companies using Monaco's Repertoire of Commerce and Industry (RCI) must have a domain name that exactly matches the company name or one of its distinctive signs on the RCI, providing a registry extract no older than 3 months. Liberal professionals or sole traders need a Monégasque business permit, with the domain matching the name under which their activity is registered. Trademark holders — whether registered directly in Monaco or protected in the country through WIPO's Madrid system — can also register, as long as the domain matches the trademark as it appears on the registration certificate. Registration is a fixed one year, with no option to contract multiple years in advance, and late renewals, restorations, or early deletions are not allowed.
Registration in the name of individuals is not allowed: only companies incorporated in Monaco (with the domain name exactly matching the company name or a distinctive sign in the RCI business registry) can register, along with liberal professionals or sole traders with a Monégasque business permit (with the domain matching their registered activity name), or holders of a trademark registered in Monaco or protected in the country via WIPO/Madrid (with the domain matching the trademark). Registration is a fixed one year, with no multi-year option, and late renewals are not allowed. Check with our team to confirm availability and exact requirements.
