  • A scanned copy of the certificate of accreditation by relevant authorities or any other document that proves that the tertiary institution has been registered.
  • A scanned copy of a letter on the letterhead of the institution authorizing a member of staff to register the domain on behalf of the instiitution. This letter should contain the full name, email address, designation, phone number and contact address of this member of staff
