.mt
country-code
The .mt domain is the country code for Malta, run by NIC (Malta) based at the University Campus in Msida. It is open to anyone but with a local contact requirement for registration, meaning you need a representative in Malta. The registry operates a straightforward process through authorized registrars listed on their site. There are no strict eligibility restrictions for who can own a name, though the local presence rule helps ensure accountability. NIC (Malta) has managed the domain since the early days of the internet, having received its delegation in December 1992. That makes .mt one of the older country code TLDs, reflecting Malta's early adoption of online infrastructure. The technical side is handled by multiple name servers including a.ns.mt and b.ns.mt, with IPv6 support on at least one node.
Eligibility and restrictions
Registration requires a local contact in Malta. No other eligibility restrictions.
