Requirements for registering a .sch.ng domain name

Requirements for .sch.ng Registration:

The .sch.ng SLD is a closed domain reserved ONLY for non-degree awarding institutions (typically at the foundation and secondary levels) recognized by the Ministry of Education.

Registrations for .sch.ng are restricted to the Third-Level Domain (3LD). The domain belongs solely to the parent institution; all departments, arms, or campuses must operate as subdomains (e.g., primary.schoolname.sch.ng) rather than separate domains.

To register a .sch.ng domain, please email us the following:

Proof of Accreditation: A scanned copy of the certificate of accreditation or any official document proving the institution is registered and recognized by the Ministry of Education.
Letter of Authorization: A scanned copy of an authorization letter on the institution’s letterhead addressed to the COO of the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA). The letter must:
- Name ruachost.ng as the registrar (including our nameservers).
- Authorize a specific staff member to register the domain.
- Provide the following details for both Technical and Admin contacts:
