Registering a .mz domain: what details are needed and for how long

Registering a Mozambican domain is simpler than most people expect. You do not need to be a company, and no paperwork is required, as long as the extension you pick is not one of the restricted ones.

Who can register

On the commercial extensions — .co.mz, .org.mz, .net.mz — any person or organisation can register. The restricted ones have their own rules: see the Mozambican extensions and who they are for .

What details are needed

Detail What it is for
Full name Identifies the registrant — the person or company the domain belongs to.
E-mail This is where expiry notices and confirmations go. Use an address you actually read, and not one on the domain you are registering.
Phone A fallback contact, used when e-mail fails.
Address and city Part of the registrant record.
Country Likewise. It does not have to be Mozambique.

For how many years

We take 1 to 10 years. One year is the minimum, and each extra year costs the same as the first — there is no penalty for paying ahead. Paying several years at once is the cheapest way never to lose a domain to forgetfulness.

How it goes

1 Pick the name and check it is free. If it is 1 to 3 letters long, read what changes with short names first.
2 Fill in the registrant details. They are what proves the domain is yours — see who is who in a domain registration .
3 Pay. Once payment clears, the registration goes through and the domain is live, usually within minutes.
4 Point it at your hosting — if you bought both from us, it already is.
Real details, always. Invented or out-of-date registrant details can invalidate the registration and, in a dispute over ownership, leave you with no case. They are the only document you have.
Do not confuse it with hosting. The domain is only the name. For a site and e-mail you also need space — see the difference between a domain and hosting .

If the name is three letters or shorter, the process differs: .mz domains with 1 to 3 letters: they need registry approval.
