Registration

Successful domain registration via RCP or API requires:

Two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
The "State/Province" field value must be a 100% match.
- .mx registry explicitly checks "State/Province" field value. If value doesn't 100% match the registry's list, the registration will be interrupted. Refer to this Wikipedia article to look up the appropriate state/province name and copy/paste it to prevent errors during the domain registration. Use the Official Name column.
The street address may only contain up to 50 characters.

NIC.MX performs name server checks. When updating name servers, please make sure that they are correctly configured to serve the corresponding zone. If they are not, an update will be denied by NIC.MX
