N12,000.00 flat fee for registrations directly on
.ng (Second Level) which are not Premium

The cost is determined by your Category of Choice.
An accredited Registrar of NIRA could choose to

the Registrar's category of choice.
Other documentation such as site verification and a
reference letter from your bank are also required.
We also want to be assured of your technical
readiness. All registration activities in the .ng
registry must be done from a .ng domain. Therefore,
a prospective Registrar is required to register a .ng
domain for his operations prior to his accreditation.
You should have a NiRA Accredited Registrar to
register the domain for you in the interim, and
request for a transfer of the domain to you when you
commence operations as a fully Accredited NiRA
Registrar.
There is also an Annual Re-certification Fee of
N50,000.00 to be paid annually. This is captured in
our fee policy.
We look forward to your application.
