MF was assigned as the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Saint Martin in 2007, but it remains inactive within the Domain Name System (DNS) root zone and has never been delegated to a registry operator. Local entities instead rely on France's national domain, .fr, and Guadeloupe's domain, .gp.

On 21 September 2007, the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency formally designated MF as the official country code, which also allowed for the creation of a corresponding ISO 3166-2:MF regional code.ISO 3166-1 Newsletter VI-1: Assignment of code elements for Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin and update of France and other French Territories International Organization for Standardization 21 September 2007 http://www.iso.org/iso/newsletter_vi-1.pdf 14 October 2007 The allocation of this alpha-2 code automatically qualified the territory for a corresponding ccTLD string, which ultimately resulted in the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) adding .mf to its global root zone repository, the authoritative database governing top-level domains, on 11 October 2007. Status As of 2026, .mf is still a reserved domain. IANA's WHOIS database registers its organizational status as "not assigned", with no technical or administrative contacts specified, and no regional registry or sponsor appointed to manage the suffix.Delegation Record for .MF https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/mf.html Internet Assigned Numbers Authority 22 June 2026 29 May 2008 Because no authoritative name servers are assigned to the extension within the global DNS root, no second-level domains under .mf can be looked up or resolved online.Technical requirements for authoritative name servers https://www.iana.org/help/nameserver-requirements 22 June 2026 Internet Assigned Numbers Authority There must be at least two NS records listed in a delegation, and the hosts must not resolve to the same IP address. 14 November 2024 The lack of delegation is governed by French national policy regarding its overseas territories. Instead of maintaining a separate registry infrastructure for Saint Martin, the French network registry Association française pour le nommage Internet en coopération (AFNIC) manages internet registrations under France's primary .fr domain. AFNIC allows residents and entities located within French overseas collectivities, including Saint Martin, to register domains under the main .fr namespace directly.Saint Martin Communications 24 June 2026 https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/saint-martin/ https://web.archive.org/web/20251220002047/https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/saint-martin/ 2025-12-20 5 February 2025French overseas Top-Level Domain names https://www.afnic.fr/en/products-and-services/french-overseas-cctlds/french-overseas-top-level-domains/ 2026-06-22 Association française pour le nommage Internet en coopération As long as this policy remains in place, local entities continue to utilize .fr, along with .gp, the ccTLD for Guadeloupe.
