Nepal
Business Registration
Business Registration 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
Eligibility
Eligibility is determined by the relevant Act, Regulation, and Directive. The NepalOS service wizard will check your eligibility automatically based on your MeroID profile before you begin the application.

Required Documents
All documents are accepted as digital uploads. If you have previously submitted a document to any government agency, it will be reused automatically via the National Data Exchange — you never submit the same document twice.
