Short answer

Morocco does not gate .ma on the registrant's nationality, it gates it on the administrative contact. The registry requires you to appoint an administrative contact who is a natural person established in Morocco; if you are an individual you can be your own administrative contact only if you are based in Morocco. That contact's postal and email address are what ANRT and the registrar use to reach you. Commercialisation of .ma runs exclusively through accredited registrars, and none of the registrars we track are among them. Accented Latin characters are now accepted in .ma names.

The .com, business and developer picks above are the same in every country we cover, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise: they are global registrars, and nothing about them changes at a border. What genuinely varies by country is on this page below — which registrars can sell the local ccTLD and under what eligibility rules, how billing and VAT work, and which support languages are available.

+$0.20 marks the mandatory ICANN fee where a registrar itemises it separately instead of including it in the headline price. Prices are shown exactly as each registrar publishes them, and every ranking on this site compares the all-in total, so no registrar gains a position by splitting its price up.

Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in MAD.

Can a registrar we track handle Morocco?

No registrar whose prices we verify sells any of the ccTLDs on this page, so a local or specialist registrar is the only route to them. A global registrar can still hold the .com, which renews from $10.18 at the cheapest seller we verify — many owners here run both.

Renewals are all-in and per year, at the cheapest registrar we verify for that extension, checked 2026-08-19. The .com reference is the cheapest verified .com renewal ($10.18). "Listed" counts registrars our country notes record as selling the extension without a price we have read ourselves.

What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Morocco compare. We do not track a single registrar based there — so any claim here that a local registrar is cheaper, better supported or easier to pay would be invention. Where local billing in Moroccan Dirham (MAD), local-language support, or a registry rule requires a local registrar, that is a reason to use one, and comparing them is work we have not done. Morocco also applies a local-presence or nexus requirement to at least one of its ccTLDs — see the registry rules above before assuming eligibility.
