What is an NP Domain?

An NP domain is Nepal's official country code top-level domain (ccTLD), administered by Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd. under the authority of CAAN (Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal) and IANA. Nepal's NP namespace includes several popular second-level domain extensions:

.com.np
Commercial Entities
For businesses, companies, and commercial websites in Nepal.
.org.np
Organizations
For NGOs, non-profits, associations, and civil society groups.
.net.np
Network / ISP
For internet service providers, network infrastructure, and technology companies.
.edu.np
Education
For schools, colleges, universities, and educational institutions in Nepal.
.gov.np
Government
Reserved exclusively for Nepal government bodies and ministries.
.mil.np
Military
Reserved for Nepal Army and armed forces divisions.

Unlike generic TLDs such as .com or .net, NP domains are free to register -โ€ Mercantile does not charge a domain registration fee. However, they require proper documentation and a formal cover letter to ensure the domain is registered to a legitimate Nepali individual or organization.

Why Do You Need a Cover Letter for NP Domain Registration?

Mercantile Communications, as Nepal's official .np domain registry, requires all domain registration applications to include a formal cover letter along with supporting documents. This requirement exists to:

  • Verify identity -โ€ to confirm that the domain is being registered by a legitimate Nepali citizen or registered organization
  • Establish domain ownership -โ€ to ensure the domain name is relevant to the applicant's name or business
  • Prevent cybersquatting -โ€ to prevent individuals from registering domains that do not belong to them
  • Maintain registry integrity -โ€ to keep the .np namespace clean, relevant, and trustworthy
  • Official record keeping -โ€ to maintain a formal paper trail for all domain registrations

Our free NP domain cover letter generator creates a properly formatted, professional letter that meets all of Mercantile's requirements -โ€ saving you time and ensuring your application is accepted.

How to Register an NP Domain: Step-by-Step Guide

1
Choose Your Domain Name
Decide on a domain name under the NP namespace. Your domain should reflect your personal name, business name, or brand. For example, if your name is Ram Bahadur Thapa, you could register ramabahadurthapa.com.np. For a business called "ABC Enterprises," you could register abcenterprises.com.np.
