The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) says it is at the final stage of signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a domain registrar and hosting company, which will enable businesses registered on the CAC portal to choose an available .ng domain for their registered company or business.
CAC disclosed this on November 12, 2026, on its social media platforms, with a video clip displaying the domain integration system.
“Wrapping up partnerships to provide FREE .ng domains, business email addresses and websites for every registered entity in Nigeria.”
What does this mean for businesses in Nigeria?
This means as you register your business on CAC portal, the portal will automatically generate a list of available domain names associated with your business name, allowing you to choose the best fit for your business.
How to get a free domain name on the CAC portal
The commission is yet to make an official announcement on how the process works. Similarly, Nigerians who used the CAC portal for their business registration said the free domain name is yet to appear on the CAC portal.
The commission stated that the introduction of the free domain for registered businesses is to enable businesses in Nigeria to take advantage of online visibility, stating that “business registration is beyond certificates.”
