Domain Registration System
Most procedures for registering and managing domains can now be done online through the website or, where a document needs to be submitted to NIC(Malta), this can be done by e-mail. Users are first required to obtain a Handle to be able to login and access their profile.
The following procedures can now be carried out online:
submission of application details (previous application forms are no longer being accepted);
payments: online card payments are accepted; cheque payments still accepted provided that these are also registered online; payment dues for new registrations and renewals are notified by e-mail;
viewing status of domains for which you are either Holder or Agent;
updates of contact details, nameservers, agents etc.
More flexible domain management roles
Previously a Holder could appoint an Applicant to administer, pay and to act as technical contact for the domain:

Migrating domains registered prior to June 2006
To manage domains registered prior to June 2006 with the new system, first refer to section on creating appropiate Handles that you will use to manage these domains. As part of the Handle registration process NIC(Malta) will then assist you to associate the relevant domains to the new Handle. If following this process there are other domains that you wish to migrate then kindly contact us to request this.
