.np Domain Application Toolkit
डट एनपी डोमेन निवेदन टुलकिट
Prepare a .np domain request letter, check the registry requirements and compress supporting documents — all in your browser.
Draft a personal or organisation .np request letter, check the registry's rules and get your scans under the upload limit — all without uploading your documents.
Compress a supporting document
The registry accepts JPG, PNG, JPEG, GIF or SVG files up to 800 KB each on its application page. This compressor converts an image to JPEG and aims for your target size. It cannot assess text readability; inspect every output at full size.
Supporting-document checklist
The list changes with the application type. It is guidance, not a substitute for the registry's own instructions.
Registration steps
- Check availabilitySearch the desired name on register.com.np and choose a listed extension. The registry allocates names first-come, first-served.
- Create an account and verify emailRegister with an address you can access. The administrative contact must belong to the actual domain owner.
- Complete the applicationFill in the domain, administrative and technical contacts, name servers and the supporting documents.
- Upload readable documentsUse clear scans. The registry accepts JPG, PNG, JPEG, GIF or SVG attachments up to 800 KB each on its application page.
- Wait for verificationThe registry says processing may take at least 24 hours and often 3–4 business days or longer. It may ask for original documents.
- Configure DNS and keep contacts currentAfter approval, point the name servers at your host. The registry also runs periodic domain reverification.

About the .np domain application toolkit
A .np domain is administered in Nepal by the .np registry at register.com.np, operated by Mercantile Communication Pvt. Ltd. Personal applicants and organisations follow the same portal but supply different supporting documents, and the registry expects the request to match the name or registration evidence you provide. This toolkit helps you draft that request letter, check the details before you send it and get scans under the upload limit — without sending your documents to this website.
.com.np cover letter generator
Choose a personal or company/organisation application, enter the applicant and domain details, and the live preview builds a formal request letter in English or Nepali. The letter includes both the AD and Bikram Sambat date, the requested extension, the name-server list and a matching enclosure list. You can copy the text, print it, download an A4 JPG at 300 DPI or download a one-page PDF.
Draft versus signed submission
An unsigned export is deliberately marked “DRAFT — UNSIGNED” so it cannot be mistaken for a finished application. A signature image removes the unsigned watermark, but does not establish acceptance by the registry. Its public instructions do not explicitly confirm pasted signature acceptance; print and sign if unsure. A signature image is not a digital signature and this tool does not submit anything to the registry.
Supporting documents and file size
The registry's application page accepts JPG, PNG, JPEG, GIF or SVG attachments up to 800 KB each. The built-in compressor converts a scan to JPEG and works toward your target size. If the target cannot be met without making the document unreadable, it says so instead of promising a file you should not upload. Always open the compressed file and check that names, numbers and stamps are still legible.
What the registry asks for
For a personal domain, the name must be based on the applicant's name as shown in a citizenship certificate, passport, driving licence, voter card, NRN identity card or resident visa. The registry says last-name-only domains are reserved for organisations. For a company or organisation, provide the registration certificate and a request letter on official letterhead with the organisation's stamp and an authorised signature. Nameservers must be fully qualified hostnames such as ns1.example.com; an IP address is not accepted in their place.
Troubleshooting Nepal domain registration
If the registry rejects a request, read its stated reason before resubmitting. Check the domain against the name in your identity or registration evidence, select an extension appropriate to your applicant type, replace blurred or incomplete scans, and use nameserver hostnames instead of IP addresses. Organizations must supply actual official letterhead, stamp and authorized signature; this generated header is not official letterhead. The registry may request additional evidence or originals. Availability and DNS operation are not checked here.
Timing and approval
Names are allocated first-come, first-served. The registry states that processing takes at least 24 hours and often 3–4 business days or longer, and it may ask for original documents. Requirements and processing times can change, so confirm the current instructions on register.com.np before submitting. This page records the requirements checked on 28 October 2026.
