What is the .np domain cover letter?
Nepal's country domain, .np, is managed by Mercantile Communications through register.com.np. Second-level names such as .com.np and .org.np are registered for free, but each application is checked by hand. Along with your ID or company documents, the registry asks for a short, signed letter requesting the domain. This is the "cover letter" or "request letter".
The letter only needs to be clear and consistent with your documents. This generator writes it in the format reviewers expect, so you don't have to start from a blank page or copy an old sample with the wrong details.
How to register a .com.np domain with this letter
- Search for your name at register.com.np to check that it is available.
- Get the two name servers from your hosting company if you already have hosting (you can also add them later).
- Fill in the form above, then click Print / Save as PDF.
- Sign the printed letter. For a company, print it on your letterhead and add the company stamp.
- Scan or photograph the signed letter and your documents. If the files are too large, shrink them with our image compressor.
- Upload everything in your register.com.np account and wait for the review.
Personal vs organization letters
Personal domains are expected to match your name as it appears on your citizenship certificate. For example, Ram Bahadur Khatri could request ramkhatri.com.np or rambahadurkhatri.com.np, but not a business or brand name.
Organization domains should match the name on your registration certificate. The letter is sent on behalf of the organization, signed by an authorized person, and stamped. Information published by hosting providers differs on whether individuals can still get .com.np names or only organizations, so check the current rules on register.com.np before applying.
Common reasons applications are rejected
- The domain name does not match the name on the documents.
- The letter is unsigned, or the company letter has no stamp.
- Scans are blurry, cropped, or only show one side of the citizenship.
- Details in the letter (name, email, domain) differ from the online form.
This tool helps you prepare the letter. It is not affiliated with Mercantile Communications or register.com.np, and the registry makes the final decision on every application.
Questions people ask
Who is the letter addressed to?
To the Hostmaster of the .np domain registry, operated by Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd. Applications are made online at register.com.np, and the signed letter is uploaded there with your documents.
Do I need to sign the letter?
Yes. Print the letter, sign it by hand (and stamp it if you apply for a company), then scan or photograph it clearly and upload it. An unsigned letter is a common reason for rejection.
Can my domain be any name I like?
No. The registry expects the name to match your own name for personal domains, or your registered organization name for company domains. A name that does not match your documents is usually rejected.
What documents go with the letter?
Typically a scan of both sides of your citizenship certificate for a personal domain, or the company registration certificate (and often PAN/VAT certificate) for an organization. Always check the current list on register.com.np before applying, as requirements can change.
My scan is too large to upload. What can I do?
Use our free image compressor to bring the scan of your letter or citizenship under the upload limit without visible loss of readability.
Is my information stored?
No. The letter is built inside your browser. Nothing you type is sent to our server.
