Questions before you plan a .NP registration?
Short answers for buyers who need to understand Nepal .NP spaces, applicant documents, name matching, DNS, bulk comparison, transfer review, and reseller/API support before continuing.
Is .NP the country-code domain for Nepal?
Yes. IANA lists .NP as Nepal’s country-code TLD and Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd. as the delegated ccTLD manager.
Can I register any direct .NP name instantly?
The official .NP process uses spaces such as .COM.NP, .ORG.NP, .EDU.NP, .NET.NP, .INFO.NP, .NAME.NP, .MIL.NP, .COOP.NP, and .GOV.NP, with document review rather than a simple instant global checkout.
Which .NP space should a company consider?
A business usually reviews .COM.NP first, but the correct choice depends on the applicant type, name match, documents, and current registry handling.
What documents may be needed for .NP?
Official guidance points to supporting documents such as company registration, branch or affiliation proof, PAN/trademark material, or personal identity documents depending on the applicant and category.
Does the .NP domain name need to match my documents?
Yes, name matching is important. The requested .NP name should reasonably match the applicant’s legal name, personal name, trademark, or approved Nepal-related basis.
Can NiceNIC help me compare .NP variants?
Yes. Use bulk .NP search to compare the base name, category options, brand variants, and alternative TLDs before planning documents.
Can I transfer a .NP domain to NiceNIC?
Transfer handling depends on the current registrar, registry workflow, and domain status. Start from the NiceNIC domain transfer page for review.
Should DNS be ready before a .NP website launch?
Yes. Even when approval is document-led, prepare nameservers, website hosting, email, and SSL so the domain can be activated cleanly after registration handling is completed.
How should resellers present .NP to customers?
Resellers should present .NP as a Nepal namespace with category and document requirements, then use the NiceNIC reseller API for scalable checks and account workflows where supported.
