Discover the official step-by-step timeline of a .ma domain transfer in accordance with ANRT technical guidelines.
You initiate the process by entering your .ma domain name and authorization code (EPP/AuthCode provided by your current registrar). Upon receipt, the official transfer order is generated.
An electronic notice is sent to the administrative email address recorded in the domain's WHOIS database. This step guarantees the legal holder's protection against illegitimate or involuntary transfers.
The previous registrar has a regulatory period of 5 calendar days to grant approval. Without a legitimate legal objection from their side, the ANRT registry automatically validates the transfer at no cost.
The .ma domain is officially linked to your client account. You receive your activation confirmation and immediately access all your DNS zone management, contacts, and security tools.
Throughout all transfer phases, name servers (DNS) remain unchanged. Your website, online stores, and email reception continue operating at 100% without any interruption.
Direct, transparent answers regarding your .ma domain migration, ANRT rules, and security.
A .ma domain transfer changes the managing registrar of your domain while preserving your legal ownership, registration period, and active configurations. It is purely an administrative migration under ANRT guidelines that connects your domain to our management portal.
Transferting your .ma domain is 100% free (0 DH). Under official ANRT regulations, no mandatory transfer or registry fees are levied. You keep your domain's existing expiration date and only pay regular renewal fees when your domain reaches its normal expiration.
No, there is zero interruption. Your existing nameservers (DNS), web server routing, and MX email records remain untouched throughout the entire migration. Your website visitors and daily email communications continue without a single second of downtime.
Your current registrar is legally obliged under ANRT rules to provide your authorization code (AuthCode/EPP). You can retrieve it instantly from your current customer portal or by opening a quick support request with them before initiating the transfer.
The transfer typically completes in 5 to 10 business days. This duration is governed by the central ANRT registry lifecycle: once submitted with a valid AuthCode, the outgoing registrar has a statutory window to validate or let the registry automatically finalize the transfer.
Yes, unconditionally. You remain the sole legal holder (registrant) of your .ma domain. The transfer only reassigns the sponsoring technical registrar. All legal rights, title, and Moroccan Law 09-08 privacy protections remain strictly attached to your legal identity.
In standard transfers, only your domain name and AuthCode are needed. If ANRT requires holder verification, individuals provide a copy of their Moroccan CIN or foreign passport, while companies provide their ICE (Identifiant Commun de l'Entreprise) or Commercial Register (RC).
Yes, if your domain recently expired, it can still be transferred as long as it is within the 30-day grace period and not yet entered the redemption phase. However, to avoid any risk of expiration during registry processing, we strongly advise initiating the transfer at least 15 days in advance.
Start your transfer and enjoy simple, supported management of your domain.
