.mo Domain (.com.mo)

About the .MO domain
What is the .MO domain?
It is one of the most restricted-eligibility extensions in the system: only legal entities, commercial entrepreneurs, or self-employed persons formally registered in the Macao Special Administrative Region can apply for a .mo or .com.mo domain — individuals with no formal activity cannot register. Both a local company and a trademark registered in Macau are required, and the requested domain name must exactly match the company name or the trademark (for example, a company called ABC could opt for ABC.com.mo or similar variants directly tied to its registered name). The domain's nameserver must be located in Macau and provide continuous service, and the administrative contact must be a full member of the applicant organization. Registration is valid for 3 years, renewable in equal periods, and the full registration process takes approximately 30 days.
Registration is reserved exclusively for legal entities, commercial entrepreneurs, or self-employed persons registered in the Macao SAR: registration in the name of individuals with no formal activity is not allowed. Both a local company and a Macau-registered trademark are required, and the domain name must exactly match the company name or the trademark. The nameserver must be located in Macau.
