Nepal's official .np Domain Registration

Domain Reverification

.com.np Domain Reverification

Since .com.np domains do not expire, a periodic domain reverification process has been initiated. This process helps identify domains that are unused, inactive, or parked so that such domains may be released and made available for others.

Domain holders should proceed with the reverification process only if the domain status is marked as "Reverification State". If your domain is not in this state, no action is required from your side.

All domain holders whose domains are in Reverification State are requested to respond to the reverification request. If the domain is no longer in use or has been parked, the domain owner may choose to release the domain voluntarily.
