Requirements for registering a .gov.ng domain name

To register a .gov.ng, you would have to send a scanned letter on the letterhead of the ministry or state government parastatal that plans to register the domain name to support@qservers.net.

 

The letter must be addressed to NIRA (Nigeria Internet Registration Association) and contain the domain name to be registered and the name of the person authorized by the agency to register the domain.


This authorized person must be working at the ministry and the following details should be stated in the letter

Full name of the authorized person

Designation

Email address

Phone number

Contact address

Once this has been sent, your request would be veted and NITDA would proceed to confirm that your request is genuine. It should take about 2 week for your domain to be registered and activated.

Do note however that you may only register a .gov.ng domain name at the fourth level of the state, (e.g. watercorporation.os.gov.ng) as this is an instruction enforced by NITDA.

For .gov.ng,  need these details on the letter:
