Nepal
Business Services
Business Services is delivered through NepalOS as a fully digital service. Citizens and businesses can complete the entire workflow online — from application to document upload, payment, tracking, and digital certificate issuance — without visiting a government office. Identity is verified via MeroID, and all data is exchanged securely through the National Data Exchange.
Section 01
