Find your service. By life event, not by ministry.

We organize 214 guides around the things citizens actually do — start a business, move house, lose a document, get married. Not the org chart that issues the paperwork.

Read a guide. Walk in prepared.

Every guide is checked by two contributors against the official portal before publishing — and re-verified each quarter.

Identity & Citizenship · Beginner

Apply for a National ID card (NID) for the first time

पहिलो पटक राष्ट्रिय परिचयपत्र (NID) बनाउने तरिका

The Department of National ID and Civil Registration is enrolling citizens ward-by-ward. If your ward is already covered, you can pre-fill the form online — saving 30–45 minutes at the camp. Here's the full process from booking to collection, written for first-time applicants.

The six steps

i.
Check if your ward is enrolling

Open donidcr.gov.np/wards and search your municipality. Wards marked Active accept walk-ins on listed days.

ii.
Pre-fill the application online

Use your citizenship number to start. The form auto-fills your name, ward and date of birth from civil records. Review carefully — corrections after enrolment take 60+ days.

citizenship.pdfbirth-cert.pdfpassport-photo.jpg
iii.
Visit the enrolment camp with originals

Bring originals of every document you uploaded. The operator will scan and return them within minutes. Carry a pen.

iv.
Give biometrics & sign

Ten fingerprints, both irises, a fresh photo, and a digital signature. Wear plain clothing — no glasses or hats during the photo.

v.
Collect your acknowledgement slip

This slip is your proof until the NID arrives. Keep both physical & photo copies — banks accept it temporarily for KYC.

vi.
Pick up your card when notified

You'll get an SMS in 14–21 days. Collection is from the ward office, in person, with the slip and a piece of photo ID.

§ 03 / Live status

Before you sit down to apply, check the portal is up.

We ping 38 government portals every 4 minutes from Kathmandu and Biratnagar. No more wasted afternoons.

Live · updated 12 min ago

34 of 38 portals are operating normally right now.

The two we watch most closely — the National ID portal and Inland Revenue's PAN service — are healthy. One portal is in scheduled maintenance, one is degraded.

§ 04 / Method

How a guide gets written. And re-checked.

Plain language, verified twice, and dated. Every guide tells you when it was last walked through end-to-end.

i

Citizen submits the rough draft

Anyone who's just been through the process can share what they did, the dead-ends they hit, and the fees they paid.

Open intake
ii

Two editors verify the steps

One walks the official portal independently; another cross-checks the gazette & current fee circulars.

Double check
iii

We publish in two languages

Every guide ships in English and नेपाली, with key terms kept side-by-side for the Devanagari script.

EN · नेपाली
iv

Re-verified every quarter

If a portal changes, the badge on the guide turns amber until a fresh walk-through is logged.
