Useful documents for managing .ma domains

Choose the form for your procedure. The PDFs provided by Capconnect are in French.

Registration requiring prior ANRT examination

For reserved terms or .ac.ma, .gov.ma and .press.ma applications. Identify the applicant, representative and domains. Education and press applications require evidence of the relevant authorisation. The applicant and registrar have signature and stamp fields.

Registration for the registrar’s own account

For a registrar requesting domains for itself. Its legal representative lists the domains and supporting reasons, then signs and stamps the request. This is a registrar procedure, rather than the standard form for a customer registering their own domain.

Voluntary transfer to a new holder

For changing the registered holder. Identify the current and new holders and the domains; both have signature and stamp fields. Changing registrars, hosting or DNS is a separate operation.

Bulk migration between registrars

For moving an attached list of domains from the old registrar’s account to the new one. The old registrar’s legal representative requests the migration, with signature and stamp fields for both registrars. It is a grouped registrar migration, rather than a holder transfer.

Domain cancellation

For the holder or their representative to request cancellation of the listed domains from ANRT. The holder and registrar have signature and stamp fields. Check the effect on the website and email beforehand: cancelling a domain goes beyond cancelling hosting.
