Report a hacked website or business domain in Nepal
A plain-language Nepal guide for website owners facing defacement, malware, data theft or domain takeover who need to preserve technical evidence and restore the service safely, with evidence, submission, safety, and official-source checks.
Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
To preserve technical evidence and restore the service safely, prepare domain and hosting ownership, server and access logs, screenshots and security alerts, backup, administrator and registrar history, confirm the current process with Nepal Police Cyber Bureau or the responsible police office, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Website owners facing defacement, malware, data theft or domain takeover
- Applicants who need to preserve technical evidence and restore the service safely using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, passport or guardian identity matching the complainant record
- □ domain and hosting ownership
- □ server and access logs
- □ screenshots and security alerts
- □ backup, administrator and registrar history
- □ Official Cyber Bureau or Nepal Police complaint reference
- □ Bank, wallet, card or platform transaction evidence when money is involved
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that Nepal Police Cyber Bureau or the responsible police office is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across domain and hosting ownership, server and access logs, screenshots and security alerts, backup, administrator and registrar history.
- Take the affected service offline when necessary, preserve logs before cleanup, contact the host and registrar, reset privileged access, notify affected users where appropriate, and report criminal intrusion.
- 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 domain and hosting ownership, server and access logs, screenshots and security alerts, backup, administrator and registrar history
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Reinstalling immediately without preserving logs can destroy evidence and leave the original access route open.
Protect safety first and use the official cybercrime-reporting channel

After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
