LOCAL CITIZENS AND COMPANIES :

The aim of NIC is to provide free registration of one domain for citizens and companies of .RW (Rwanda) and .CG (Congo). But this is subject to limitative conditions in order to ascertain that non-citizens do not benefit from this.

The registration of a domain is free of charge for the citizens of Rwanda or Congo, who are resident locally. It is our sole discretion to accept the free registration in our country code, and we will ensure that no abuse of registration takes place. If we suspect that a domain request is made by a company or individual that is not entitled to a free registration, we will reject the application at our sole discretion. A company or an NGO duly registered in our country and operated from there can also qualify provided there is no foreign participation. Local institutions, governmments, ministeries and other authorities have a right for free domains at the highest priority.

In order to avoid foreign individuals or companies to register free domains, we can require that the applicant scans the proof of his citizenship and the proof the he resides locally.

The principle of free domains is for serving the disadvantaged communities of our country. Should one of these conditions not being fulfilled, NIC is entitled to delete the domain or switch it to a non-resident status.

FOREIGN CITIZENS AND COMPANIES :

However, the foreign entities may register domains in .RW and .CG. The policy of NIC is to charge these entities with sizeable fees in order to compensate free registration for local citizens. The foreign entities are not obliged to keep a DNS or an administrative contact in the country. Except those qualified by NIC as restricted or undesirable at NIC's sole discretion, any name may be assigned to these entities.
