Award guidelines
Anyone can order a .mk domain address, no matter where they live or reside or what nationality they are. This means that companies and also private persons as well as public institutions and foundations and trademark owners can register such a domain. However, the registry requires companies to provide their commercial register number as well as their sales tax number. Private individuals must provide their identity card number and date of birth. Special second-level domains are reserved for companies.
Due to the large variety of nationalities living in Northern Macedonia, domain addresses ending in .mk can be found in many languages. The official language is Macedonian. Due to the high percentage of Albanians in the country, Albanian has also been considered the second official language since January 2018. Among the .mk websites, however, there are also many sites with content in Turkish and Serbian. In municipalities where at least 20 percent of the inhabitants are of Turkish origin, Turkish may also be set as an official language in Northern Macedonia.
Meaning
The national and international importance of the .mk domain extension has increased significantly during the last few years. More and more companies in Northern Macedonia itself and also emigrants from this country, who are now living all over the world for several decades, are looking for a domain address with the domain extension .mk, so that an end user or a business partner immediately knows from which country the company comes or where it has its headquarters, namely in a country bordering on Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania and Kosovo, whereby today's Republic of Northern Macedonia - originated in the former Yugoslavia - occupies a part of the geographical region of Macedonia.
