About .mf domains

About .mf domains

.MF is a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) in the DNS root zone. It is designated for its designated country or territory. The IANA root zone lists the registry manager as Not assigned. Registration policies (who may register, local presence, pricing) are set by the registry and its accredited registrars — not by IANA.

.mf is an unused Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) reserved for Saint Martin, an overseas collectivity of France located in the Leeward Islands of the northeastern Caribbean. MF was assigned as the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Saint Martin in 2007, but it remains inactive within the Domain Name System (DNS) root zone and has never been delegated to a registry operator. Local entities instead rely on France's national domain, .fr, and Guadeloupe's domain, .gp.

Who can register .mf domains?

Eligibility is defined by the registry operator and its registrars. Most gTLDs are open to anyone worldwide. Many ccTLDs are also open globally; some require local presence, citizenship, or trademark rights. Always confirm current policy with the registry or your registrar.
