Quick answer
To prepare a new isp connection, prepare subscriber identity, installation address, owner or tenant consent, selected plan and equipment details, confirm the current process with the licensed telecom operator, ISP, MDMS or Nepal Telecommunications Authority, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Households selecting and installing a licensed internet service
- Applicants who need to prepare a new isp connection using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, passport or organization KYC matching the telecom record
- □ subscriber identity
- □ installation address
- □ owner or tenant consent
- □ selected plan and equipment details
- □ Official operator, ISP, NTA or MDMS application and complaint reference
- □ Official telecom, device-registration or service receipt when applicable
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the licensed telecom operator, ISP, MDMS or Nepal Telecommunications Authority is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across subscriber identity, installation address, owner or tenant consent, selected plan and equipment details.
- Verify the provider is licensed, check coverage and contract terms, complete KYC, inspect installation, and keep payment and router records.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched subscriber identity, installation address, owner or tenant consent, selected plan and equipment details
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Promotional speed, installation ownership, lock-in period and return of equipment can differ from verbal sales claims.
