The .mn extension is the country-code domain of Mongolia, a large landlocked country in East Asia that lies between Russia and China. Mongolian is the official language, and it is written in Cyrillic script. Local companies, travel agencies and cultural projects use .mn to show that they are based in Mongolia and speak to Mongolian customers. Use the availability form that sits under this paragraph to check whether your .mn name is still open.

A short history
Mongolia received its national code in the early days of the internet, as many countries did with their own codes. The zone grew as Mongolian organisations moved online, from tour operators and shops to schools and media outlets. Today it is a familiar ending for Mongolian companies, and the rules for holders are published by the national registry.
Who runs it
The .mn zone is managed by a national registry, which keeps the database of names and sets the conditions for registration. Registrars take orders from customers and pass them on to the registry. Because the conditions belong to the national registry and may change, the current terms are the ones to check before you register, especially if you are not based in Mongolia.
Eligibility and details
- Holder conditions: rules on who may hold a .mn name can depend on the holder's location and status, so check them first.
- Holder information: the details you give must be accurate, and they may be checked when the registry asks.
- Standard characters: letters from a to z, digits and hyphens are the usual characters, and a single label can be up to 63 characters long.
- Renewal: keep the expiry date in your calendar and make sure the contact address stays active.
Who uses .mn
- Tour operators and travel agencies that organise trips across the steppe and the Gobi desert.
- Hotels, guesthouses and restaurants in Ulaanbaatar and other towns.
- Mining, trade and transport firms that work with Mongolian partners.
- Schools, cultural groups and media outlets that publish in Mongolian.
Strengths
- The ending gives a clear sign of a Mongolian base, which helps local visitors trust a business they can find nearby.
- Search engines may treat a country-code ending as one hint about the audience, so Mongolian-language content can match local searches well.
- A two-letter country code is short and easy to read on a business card or a travel brochure.
Things to keep in mind
- The zone suits a Mongolian audience best, so a business that targets many countries may also need a generic address.
- Many visitors from abroad will not know the ending, so put the full address on every printed item.
- Good short names may already be registered, so prepare alternatives that describe your service.
- Conditions can change, so check the current terms again when you renew an older registration.
Tips before you register
- Check the same name in .com and decide whether a second address is worth owning.
- Enter the company or holder details exactly as they appear in your official papers.
- Plan content in Mongolian, and add English if you serve foreign visitors, then decide which language the homepage will use.
- Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records before you send e-mail from the domain.
- Turn on auto-renewal and keep two-factor login on the registrar account.
Frequently asked questions
Can someone outside Mongolia register a .mn name? The registry sets conditions for holders, so check whether your situation meets them before you pay.
Does .mn help a site appear in Mongolian search results? It is a useful location signal. Clear local content, fast pages and relevant links usually matter more.
Can I use Mongolian Cyrillic letters in a .mn name? Some internationalised names may be possible under the registry rules. Check the current policy before you build your brand around such a name.
