Registrars

The Nigeria Internet Registration Association has adopted the

Registry/Registrar mode of operation in the registration of domain

names in the .ng ccTLD.  The implication of this is that NIRA does

not handle the registration of domain names directly.  Registrations

can only be done through NIRA certified Registrars.

Registrars are establishments certified by NIRA to facilitate the

registration, transfer, renewal, and modification of registration

data for customers that have, or are applying for, dot-ng domain

names. 

NIRA currently has 37 certified Registrars.  Applications are

 received from organsations who want to become NIRA Certified

Registrars on a regular basis. NIRA's  policy does not limit the

number of certified Registrars.  An accreditation process is scheduled

quarterly. 

NIRA made an initial call to interested companies both resident in

Nigeria and in the Diaspora for pioneer registrar in April 2008.

After a pains taking evaluation process by the Registrar

Accreditation committee, the Executive Board approved the

appointment of twenty-nine (29) Pioneer Registrars for the .ng

Registry, at the various levels (Platinum,Gold, Silver, Standard) in

October 2008.

Subsequent accreditation processes took place in July and

December 2009.
