APPLICATION PROCESSAPPLICATION PROCESS
Dispute ResolutionDispute Resolution
No adjudication shall be made within the registration function as to whether the applicant has a legitimate right to a name, beyond compliance with the .gov.ng policies.
The Registrant (applicant), in lodging the request for a name, informs the Domain Provider that they are asserting a claimed right to a name.
In the case of conflicting name requests between an applicant and an existing gov.ng domain name registration, in the first instance the parties concerned (applicant and existing Registrant) should attempt to resolve the matter, and report to the NITDA if the resolution includes a change of registration details.
Should a dispute not be able to be resolved between the parties, this should be reported to NITDA for further consultation and mediation.
Disputes that extend outside of the gov.ng domain should refer to the NIRA Dispute Resolution Process.
