.ltd.ng for eligible private limited companies

Overview

Use ltd.ng for a company's website, communications or corporate identity. The registration must accurately represent the applicant's legal status.

Who qualifies for ltd.ng?

Applicants must be eligible private limited companies. Incorporation evidence establishing that legal form may be required.

Preparing your application

Your registrar will confirm the accepted incorporation records and any evidence required to connect the requested name to the company.

Selecting the registered name

Use the company’s legal name or a name to which it has a legitimate entitlement. An abbreviation is not automatically acceptable. If the company name changes, ask your registrar what record updates and supporting evidence are required.

Names remain subject to the naming rules and the rights of others. Reserved names and premium classifications are separate from eligibility.

Registration and renewal

Apply through a registrar that supports this namespace. Confirm the registration period, currency, taxes, initial charge and renewal price before accepting an offer. A premium registration price does not establish its renewal price, and not every name is premium-priced.

Maintain accurate registrant information and use your registrar for renewals, authorised transfers and record changes. Recovery after expiry depends on the applicable service rules. Hosting, email and other services are separate unless expressly included in the registrar’s offer.

Questions about .ltd.ng

Does registration certify the applicant?

No. A registration provides the rights defined in the applicable terms. It does not incorporate a business, verify professional credentials, grant charitable status or approve the claims on a website.

Where can I confirm the price or discuss a name?

Use the registration guidance route for an appropriate registrar channel. A domain lookup does not reserve a name or confirm that it can be registered.
