.bd Domain Registration – Document Requirements
What documents you need, when they're required, and why they matter
IMPORTANT TO KNOW FIRST
Registering a .bd or .বাংলা domain is different from .com or .net.
BTCL (Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited) is the official registry for .bd domains. Limda Host is an authorized BTCL reseller.
These are national domains of Bangladesh, so identity verification is mandatory, not optional.
- .bd domains do not allow anonymous registration
- WHOIS privacy or proxy services are not allowed
- Documents may be required: before registration, after registration, or anytime during the domain lifetime
- Required documents must be submitted within 3 days of registration, or your domain will be automatically suspended per BTCL policy
- If documents are missing, false, or outdated → domain may be suspended or cancelled, and there will be NO REFUND
1. Documents Required for ALL .bd Domains (Mandatory for Everyone)
These requirements apply no matter which extension you choose.
1.1 Identity & Contact Information (Basic Requirement)
Please provide a valid Government-issued Photo ID (National ID Card / NID, Passport, or driving license) matching your registrant contact profile details exactly.
1.2 Proof of Bangladeshi Presence (MOST IMPORTANT RULE)
Requires institutional proof localized within Bangladesh, such as a valid Trade License, incorporation certificates, or physical utility bills tied to a verifiable local registration footprint.
1.3 Legal Representative Documents (If Someone Applies for You)
An official authorization letter or Power of Attorney signed on company letterhead confirming legal authorization to handle domain configurations on behalf of the main entity.
2. Namespace-Wise: Who Can Register, What Names Are Allowed & Required Documents
Each .bd extension has specific eligibility rules, naming requirements, and document requirements. This section combines allocation criteria with document requirements for each namespace.
2.1 Direct `.bd` Domains (example.bd)
Information regarding eligibility and document requirements for direct .bd registrations.
2.2 `.com.bd` and `.net.bd` (Commercial namespaces)
Requirements for commercial entities, including valid trade license copy.
2.3 `.org.bd` (Non-profit / NGO namespace)
Requirements for non-profit organizations and NGO bureau registration certificates.
2.4 `.id.bd` (Personal identity namespace)
Requirements for individuals, matching national ID or passport details.
2.5 `.info.bd` (Information publishing)
Requirements for information-based or publication platforms.
2.6 `.edu.bd` and `.ac.bd` (Education and academia)
Approval letters or government recognition papers for educational institutions.
2.7 `.gov.bd` (Government)
Restricted to official government ministries, directorates, and organizations.
2.8 `.mil.bd` (Military)
Restricted exclusively to the Bangladesh Armed Forces organizations.
2.9 District & Area namespaces (Locality-based, sensitive)
Specific regional or district-level local identity document requirements.
3. Documents Required After Registration (Yes, This Happens)
Mandatory 3-Day Document Submission Deadline
Important: All required documents must be submitted within 3 days of domain registration. If documents are not submitted within this timeframe, your domain will be automatically suspended in accordance with BTCL (Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited) policy.
What happens if documents are not submitted:
- Your domain will be suspended immediately after the 3-day deadline
- Without valid documentation, the domain will remain suspended per BTCL policy requirements
- The domain will not resolve in DNS and cannot be used until documents are provided
BTCL Compliance Requirement: As an authorized BTCL reseller, Limda Host is required to comply with all BTCL regulations and policies. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we cannot proceed with domain activation until all required documents are provided and verified.
Good News: Once you upload valid documents through your domain management panel, your domain will be reactivated promptly after verification. We are here to assist you throughout this process.
Even after successful registration, documents may be requested if:
- BTRC conducts an audit
- Law enforcement requests verification
- WHOIS accuracy check occurs
- Abuse, phishing, or misuse is reported
- Public interest or national security concern arises
4. Document Requirements for Special Situations
4.1 Domain Transfer
Requires an Authorization Code (Auth-Code) from the current registrar, along with formal transfer request documents on corporate letterhead if it is an institutional domain.
4.2 Correction of Registrant Information
Requires legal proof justifying the modification, such as a legally amended trade license, corporate name change certificate, or affidavit depending on the ownership type.
4.3 Suspension Recovery
If suspended due to missing documentation, valid identity or authorization paperwork must be submitted immediately along with any compliance clearance required by BTCL.
5. Your Legal Declaration (Implicit Agreement)
By submitting documents, you confirm:
- All information is true and accurate
- Eligibility will be maintained
- Domain will not be used illegally
- Registrar or BTRC may suspend/cancel if violations occur
6. Why Limda Host Takes Documents Seriously
BTCL (Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited) is the official registry for .bd domains. Limda Host is an authorized BTCL reseller and is required to:
- Comply with BTRC regulations
- Cooperate with audits and legal requests
- Protect national DNS integrity
We cannot override BTRC rules, even if a domain is already active.

Policy Guide
Important .bd Domain Policy Information
1
Who Controls .bd Domains (Why these rules matter)
- .bd and .বাংলা are Bangladesh's national internet namespaces (ccTLDs).
- The regulator is BTRC and the ccTLD manager is Posts & Telecommunications Division (PTD).
- The registry is BTCL and Limda Host is an authorized BTCL reseller.
- These are national resources, so compliance is mandatory.
What this means for you: if a registration conflicts with policy, BTRC/authority directions can lead to suspension/cancelation.
2
Core Principles (How registrations work)
First come, first served (with conditions)
- Domains are generally allocated on a first complete application basis.
- But eligibility and naming rules still must be met.
No ownership rights
- A .bd domain is not "property".
- Registration grants the right to use a domain, not permanent ownership.
No proxy/privacy registrations
- You cannot hide registrant identity using privacy/proxy services.
- A legal representative can apply for you only with proper legal documentation.
3
Bangladeshi Presence Requirement (Must-have rule)
To register and keep a .bd domain, the registrant must have continuous Bangladeshi presence.
Acceptable examples:
- Bangladeshi citizen (18+)
- Bangladesh-registered company/business
- NGO / Trust / Association registered in Bangladesh
- Government or semi-government entity
- Foreign entity through a lawful local representative (with proper legal documents)
If Bangladeshi presence is lost: the domain can be suspended, and later cancelled if not corrected.
What this means for you: keep your documents and registrant details updated during the whole registration period.
5
Reserved & Prohibited Names (Common reason for rejection)
You cannot register names that are:
- restricted/prohibited under Bangladeshi law
- names/abbreviations of Bangladeshi areas, including "Bangladesh"
- names that risk security/stability/integrity of DNS
- direct matches of government agency names
- obscene/offensive terms
Also prohibited:
- names deceptively similar to namespaces, like comm.bd or co.bd (confusing with com.bd)
If reserved names are registered mistakenly: they may be suspended/cancelled depending on circumstances.
What this means for you: avoid govt/area terms and confusing spellings.
6
Domain Monetization Rules (No flipping in protected spaces)
Domain monetization is prohibited in:
- .org.bd
- .id.bd
- .edu.bd / .ac.bd
- District & Area namespaces
Also prohibited:
- applying solely to transfer the name to another party.
What this means for you: do not buy names in these spaces for resale.
7
Registrant Responsibilities (What you must maintain)
You must:
- keep registration information true, accurate, and complete
- notify and update changes promptly
- remain eligible for the namespace
- not rent/lease/sub-register domain to unrelated parties
Subdomains:
- you may create subdomains only if users meet presence/eligibility rules, and you must not sell or lease subdomains.
Prohibited uses:
- illegal, unlawful, fraudulent conduct
- allowing domain to harm DNS security/stability
What this means for you: maintaining compliance is ongoing, not only at purchase time.
8
Suspension, Cancellation & Consequences
Suspension can occur when:
- information is incomplete
- reserved name registered
- registrant info not updated within required time
- policy non-compliance (not severe enough for cancellation)
- public interest
- court order / legal requirement
Effects of suspension:
- domain does NOT resolve in DNS
- domain cannot be transferred
Registrant gets time window to fix the issues.
Cancellation can occur when:
- info is untrue
- registrant not eligible
- illegal use
- reserved name used without entitlement
- serious public interest/security/DNS risk reasons
What this means for you: keep documents and WHOIS data correct, and avoid risky use cases. If your domain is suspended or cancelled due to missing, false, or outdated documents, there will be NO REFUND.
9
WHOIS & Data Protection (Transparency)
- WHOIS privacy/proxy is not allowed.
- Data can be disclosed to law enforcement, courts, and authorized cases.
- Registrars must store and protect personal data securely under Bangladesh jurisdiction.
