About the .MT domain
What is the .MT domain?
The registry structure clearly distinguishes between levels: direct second-level registration under .mt requires no residency or geographic restrictions — anyone in the world can register it, whether or not resident in Malta. However, third-level subdomains, such as .com.mt, .org.mt, and similar, are limited exclusively to entities resident in the country. People resident in Malta can register using their Maltese ID card or residence permit, plus a mandatory VAT number to process their own Maltese domain. NIC-MT reviews applications manually, usually taking 1 to 5 business days.
