In 1993, the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) approved a request for delegation of the .ma ccTLD for administrative and technical contact to Ecole Mohammadia d'Ingénieurs.

In 1995 the technical management of the .ma domain was taken over by Maroc Telecom which is still the technical maintainer.

On 12 May 2006 IANA redelegated the administrative and technical contact for the domain, and made ANRT (Agence Nationale de Réglementation des Télécommunications) the only official registrar for the .ma ccTLD. A new provisioning system based on Extensible Provisioning Protocol is expected to be launched in 2015.
