.com.np छिटो र सजिलो register गर्नुहोस्।
Check availability, generate your cover letter, and get your document checklist — all in one place.
What you need to send
- 1
Citizenship copy — front and back
For a personal domain. Both sides, in one clear scan or photo each. If you're registering for a company, send the company registration certificate (कम्पनी दर्ता प्रमाणपत्र) and PAN instead.
- 2
Passport-size photo
A recent photo of the applicant. A phone photo against a plain wall is usually accepted as long as your face is clear and unobstructed.
- 3
Letter to Mercantile
The formal application letter requesting the domain. Generate it above, fill in the blank lines, print it, then sign it before you scan it.
- 4
The domain must match your document name
This is the most common rejection reason. A personal domain should relate to your own name; a business domain should match the name on the registration certificate. Asking for an unrelated brand name with only a citizenship copy will be refused.
Avoid a rejection
- Scan documents clearly — blurry or cropped uploads are the top cause of rejection, and you start the wait over again.
- Use your full name exactly as it appears on your citizenship certificate, including the spelling of your surname.
- Processing takes roughly 1–7 business days. There is no paid queue-jump, and following up daily won't speed it up.
- There is no self-service editing after approval. Any later change — nameservers, contact details, transfer — means contacting Mercantile again and waiting.
Need it live today?
.com.np is free but manual — documents, review, and a 1–7 day wait with no guarantee. A .com needs no paperwork and activates instantly, from रू1,499 a year.
01
Confirm the name is free
There is no WHOIS for .np, so the check reads DNS instead. A name that already resolves is gone — no amount of paperwork will get it.
02
Prepare the paperwork
Citizenship or company registration, a photo, and a signed Nepali application letter. The letter is where most people stall, so it is generated for you.
03
Apply and wait
Submit everything on register.com.np. Mercantile verifies the documents by hand, which usually takes 1–7 business days.
Questions about .com.np
- How does this tool know whether a .com.np name is taken?
- It reads DNS. Nepal's registry publishes no WHOIS or RDAP service for .np, so there is no machine-readable record to query — instead we ask a resolver whether the name exists in the .com.np zone. If it resolves, somebody holds it. If the resolver says the name does not exist, it is almost certainly free. The one gap: a domain that was registered but never pointed at nameservers can still look free here. Treat an "available" result as a strong green light, then confirm it on register.com.np before you prepare your documents.
- What does the cover letter need to say?
- It is a standard Nepali निवेदन addressed to Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd. at Durbar Marg, with the subject line "डोमेन नाम दर्ता गरिपाऊँ". It should state who you are, the exact domain you want including the .com.np suffix, what you will use it for, and which documents are attached — then close with your signature, address and contact details. The generator produces that structure for you and leaves dotted blank lines for anything you have to fill in by hand. Print it, sign it, and scan it with the rest of your paperwork.
- Is .com.np actually free, and does TLDNepal charge for this?
- The domain is free — Mercantile Communications issues .com.np at no cost, and no reseller can sell it to you. This assistant is also free and needs no account; we built it because the paperwork, not the price, is what stops people. We make nothing if your .com.np application succeeds. If the wait does not work for you, we sell paid extensions like .com, and we would rather say that plainly than pretend the free option does not exist.
- How long does approval take, and what happens if I am rejected?
- Usually 1 to 7 business days once your documents are in. Rejections are almost always a document problem: a blurry or cropped scan, a name that does not match the citizenship certificate, or a domain unrelated to the person or company applying. Fix the specific issue and reapply — there is no appeal queue and no way to pay for priority. Also worth knowing before you start: there is no self-service panel afterwards, so nameserver and contact changes mean contacting Mercantile again.
