Applicant details

The registry's administrative contact must be the actual domain owner. Use an email address you check regularly — it is also used for reverification.

Requested domain
Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only. The registry does not offer internationalised (xn--) names.
The Bikram Sambat date is shown beside the AD date.
Use fully qualified hostnames from your DNS provider. Two are usual; the public instructions do not clearly specify a minimum count. IP addresses are not accepted.
Signature (optional)
Acceptance of pasted signature images is not confirmed in the public registry instructions. Print and sign if unsure. A photo or scan on white paper works best. It is trimmed, resized and kept in this browser tab — it is not uploaded, saved in the site or sent to analytics. This page still requests shared fonts and icons, without document contents.
Edits apply to preview, copy, print and downloads. Applicant, domain and nameserver fields still need to be valid. Review edited wording after changing details.

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.

The registry's per-file limit is 800 KB. This tool uses decimal KB (1,000 bytes) conservatively; the registry does not specify the byte convention. A lower target is optional.
Crop, rotate and resize

Crop percentages refer to the original image, before clockwise rotation. Keep all required details visible. Original files are unchanged. GIF uses the first frame.

Supporting-document checklist

The list changes with the application type. It is guidance, not a substitute for the registry's own instructions.

    Registration steps

    1. Check availabilitySearch the desired name on register.com.np and choose a listed extension. The registry allocates names first-come, first-served.

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is this an official .np registration service?
    No. This is an independent letter-preparation and document-checking toolkit. Applications are made on register.com.np, the registry operated by Mercantile Communication Pvt. Ltd. This site is not affiliated with the registry and cannot approve or submit a domain.
    What do I need for a personal .np domain?
    A domain label based on the name in your identity document, at least two nameserver hostnames, and a clear copy of the identity document. The registry lists citizenship, passport, driving licence, voter card, NRN identity card and resident visa as accepted identity documents. Last-name-only domains are reserved for organisations.
    What does an organisation need to attach?
    The registry asks for the company, firm or organisation registration certificate, a request letter on official letterhead with the organisation stamp and authorised signature, and the authorised signatory’s identity document. Non-incorporated entities may need PAN registration; brand-based requests may need trademark evidence.
    Can I use an IP address as a nameserver?
    No. The registry requires fully qualified hostnames, for example ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com. Use the nameservers supplied by your hosting or DNS provider.
    Why is my export marked “DRAFT — UNSIGNED”?
    The watermark appears whenever no signature image has been added, so a draft cannot be confused with a signed request. Add a signature image to remove it, then print and sign or stamp the paper copy as required.
    How large can each uploaded document be?
    The registration page states a maximum of 800 KB per file, in JPG, PNG, JPEG, GIF or SVG format. The compressor can aim lower, but it warns when the target would make the scan unreadable.
    Are my details or documents uploaded?
    No. Letter generation, image compression and signature preparation happen in your browser. Tool inputs are kept in tab memory; analytics is disabled on this page. Reset clears the fields and files. Downloaded files remain on your device.
