The .BD domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Bangladesh, managed by the Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL). BTCL requires eligibility and document verification before a .BD domain can be activated. These are registry-level requirements.

​
Eligibility

Applicants must demonstrate a valid Bangladesh presence. Eligible applicants include:
  • Bangladeshi individuals with a valid National ID (NID)
  • Bangladesh-registered companies or businesses
  • Bangladesh-registered non-profit organisations or NGOs
  • Recognised educational institutions
A valid Bangladeshi NID and a reachable Bangladeshi mobile number are required in all cases.

​
Registrant Information

  • The domain must be registered in the name of the actual eligible registrant.
  • The details in your customer profile must be accurate and match the supporting documents.
  • For company registrations, the details must match the company documentation.

​
Required Documents

​
Individual Registration

  • Valid Bangladeshi NID or passport (as accepted by BTCL)
  • Active and reachable Bangladeshi mobile number
  • At least one complete part of the applicant’s name on the NID must match the requested domain name.

​
Company Registration

  • Valid Trade License or Certificate of Incorporation
  • Company owner’s valid Bangladeshi NID
  • Active and reachable Bangladeshi mobile number
  • Official request letter on the company’s letterhead
The request letter must clearly state the purpose of the domain and the exact domain name requested. If the domain represents a brand that differs from the company’s legal name, the letter must explain the relationship between the brand and the company. Where applicable, you may also provide a Bangladesh trademark registration certificate or trademark filing receipt to help establish the legitimacy of the domain name.

​
Domain Name Requirements

  • Domain names are registered on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to registry approval.
  • The requested domain must match, or have a legitimate relationship with, the applicant’s legal name, business name or trademark.
  • Regular-priced domains must contain at least three characters. Two-character domains may be subject to premium pricing and registry classification.
  • Reserved, government-related, misleading, offensive, unethical or illegal names may be restricted or rejected.

​
Premium and Restricted Domains

We do not offer registration of .BD domains classified as Premium by BTCL. The registry determines domain classification, availability and pricing, so orders identified as Premium or Restricted may be declined or cancelled.

​
Additional Verification

BTCL may request additional documents or verification depending on the domain name, registrant or circumstances of the application.

​
How to Submit Your Documents

Please submit the applicable documents via a support ticket:
  • Trade License (for company registrations)
  • Valid Bangladeshi NID or other applicable identity document
  • Active and reachable Bangladeshi mobile number
Once the documents are received and verified, we will proceed with activation, subject to BTCL’s approval.
