The Nigeria Internet Registration Association(NiRA) as a body does not not handle the registration of domain names directly. Registrations can only be done through NIRA certified Registrars. The Registrars are establishments certified by NIRA to facilitate the registration, transfer, renewal, and modification of registration data for customers that have, or are applying for, .ng domain
names.
Applications are received from organsations who want to become NiRA Certified Registrars on a regular basis. NIRA's policy does not limit the number of certified Registrars. An accreditation process is scheduled quarterly.

However, after a pains taking evaluation process by the Registrar Accreditation committee, the Executive Board approved the appointment of twenty-nine (29) Pioneer Registrars for the .ng Registry, at the various levels (Platinum,Gold, Silver, Standard) in October 2008.
