Requirements for Registering a .edu.ng Domain Name
Registration Requirements for .edu.ng:
The .edu.ng Second-Level Domain (SLD) is exclusively reserved for accredited tertiary academic institutions approved by recognized authorities such as the Nigerian University Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), NCCE, and other constitutionally acknowledged bodies of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
All registrations under the .edu.ng SLD will occur at the Third-Level Domain (3LD). Various departments or entities within the qualifying institution may then be established as subdomains rather than full domains.
Contact Details for Registration:
To initiate the registration process for a .edu.ng domain, please forward an email to us with the following details:
- A scanned copy of the institution's accreditation certificate from relevant authorities or any valid document confirming the institution's registration status.
- A scanned copy of a formal letter, printed on the institution's letterhead, authorizing a designated staff member to register the domain on behalf of the institution. This letter should include the full name, email address, job title, phone number, and contact address of the designated staff member.
