3 days is a long time - comparable to registering domains in non-mainstream
TLDs. The main problem with Malta's NIC is that they insist on verifying
identity via a manual signatures - this is arguably more secure and results
in fewer complaints, but takes longer to setup.

I am not associated with NIC Malta in any way btw :-) Take it up with them
:-)

Best,

If it takes 3 days just to register a domain name, one can hardly call
it "smooth".

By what standards?

Other NICs have automatic on-line processing systems. What's up with
Malta's NIC?

They also seem to not comply with standards and are not running a WHOIS
service.
