We would like to inform you about an important update regarding the registration of .IN domain names, as per the latest directive from the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI).

 

Key Update: Mandatory e-KYC for .IN Registrants
Effective from 1st August 2025, all registrants of .IN domain names will be required to complete an e-KYC verification process to successfully register or renew a .IN domain.

This e-KYC process is being facilitated using DigiLocker, a secure digital document verification system launched by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) under the Digital India initiative.
.IN Registrations Limited to Indian Registrants
.IN domain registrations will now be restricted to individuals or organizations based in India. Non-Indian entities will no longer be able to register .IN domain names.
✅ What You Need To Do
If you or your customers wish to register or renew a .IN domain, please ensure the following:
● Valid Indian identity documents must be submitted via the e-KYC process.
●The e-KYC link and instructions will be shared during the domain registration workflow.
●Incomplete or failed KYC submissions may result in delayed or unsuccessful domain registration.

We recommend completing the e-KYC process promptly to avoid any disruptions.
