A plain-language Nepal guide for people deceived into sending money, gifts, documents or private media by an online relationship who need to document emotional and financial manipulation, 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 document emotional and financial manipulation, prepare profile and conversation history, money and gift transfers, identity claims and photographs, threats, promises and courier messages, 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
- People deceived into sending money, gifts, documents or private media by an online relationship
- Applicants who need to document emotional and financial manipulation 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
- □ profile and conversation history
- □ money and gift transfers
- □ identity claims and photographs
- □ threats, promises and courier messages
- □ 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 profile and conversation history, money and gift transfers, identity claims and photographs, threats, promises and courier messages.
- Stop payment and private sharing, verify the claimed identity independently, secure accounts, preserve evidence, and report fraud or blackmail.
- 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 profile and conversation history, money and gift transfers, identity claims and photographs, threats, promises and courier messages
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Scammers may use stolen photos, fake emergencies, customs stories or marriage promises to build trust.
