.mc domain extension

The .mc domain is the country code for Monaco, the small sovereign city-state on the French Riviera. It is managed by the Direction des Plateformes et des Ressources Numériques, a government agency that handles Monaco digital infrastructure. Registration is open to any individual or organization worldwide, with no specific residency requirement for most second level domains. However, certain subdomains like .tm.mc for trademarks may have stricter rules. The official registry site is nic.mc, which also provides WHOIS lookup. Monaco launched .mc shortly after the Internet began expanding internationally, with the IANA record showing a registration date of January 20, 1995. It remains a niche but stable TLD popular for local businesses, personal sites, and anything tied to Monaco luxury brands or tourism.
