About the .MY domain
What is the .MY domain?
Registration requires the registrant's contact to prove genuine residency in Malaysia. Individuals must provide their Malaysian identity card number (Kad Pengenalan) or, for resident foreigners, prove residency with a valid passport. Commercial entities must provide their business registration number. Foreign companies with no local presence can still access it by registering through a local representative, either a Malaysian citizen or a company incorporated in the country, via a local presence service. Registration of domains such as .com.my, .gov.my, .net.my, .edu.my, and .org.my is activated 24 to 48 hours after receiving the required supporting documentation.
The registrant holder or contact must prove residency in Malaysia through a Malaysian identity card number (Kad Pengenalan), or prove residency with a valid passport. Foreign companies can register by appointing a local representative, either a Malaysian citizen or a Malaysian company. Commercial entities must provide their business registration number.
