.MX Domains

Last updated


.MX domain transfers do not complete right away like most gTLD transfers: the current registrar must approve the request, so a transfer can take up to 10 days. The Mexican registry also checks name servers before it accepts a change.

How long does a .MX transfer take?

.MX domains follow a registry-approved transfer process. After the transfer is started, the current registrar must approve the request, so transfers can take up to 10 days to complete.

What else should I know about .MX domains?

  • Name servers: the registry checks that new name servers are set up to serve the domain’s zone. If they are not, the registry rejects the change. .MX domains can have 1 to 5 name servers.
  • Contact address: for a contact in Mexico or the United States, the state is required. For Mexico, enter the state’s full name, not an abbreviation.
  • WHOIS privacy: not available.
