Non-governmental and public-interest organisations

.ngo.ng for qualifying non-governmental and public-interest organisations

A domain extension for non-governmental organisations and public-interest initiatives that meet the namespace requirements.

Overview

Use ngo.ng to present an organisation's mission, programmes, activities and contact information. Make the organisation's identity and purpose clear.

Who the namespace serves

The applicant must be a qualifying organisation. Registration records, a constitution or evidence of legitimate organisational activity may be required.

Preparing your application

Your registrar will confirm the evidence needed to establish the organisation and its connection to the requested name.

Presenting the organisation

Make the organisation’s name, mission, activities and contact information clear. Registration does not independently establish charitable status or authorise fundraising. Questions about organisational evidence should go to your registrar.

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 .ngo.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.
