Enter Bangladesh market with a .COM.BD Domain

The list the registry publishes has two parts: a Bangladeshi National Identity Card (NID) on the identity side, and a trade licence, approval letter or RJSC company registration certificate on the corporate side. Documents are uploaded to the profile you create on the portal, and the registration proceeds once that upload is complete. The operator has published no separate list and no exemption for applicants based outside Bangladesh, so confirm your paperwork before you place an order from abroad.

Both sit with the same operator and follow the same documentary regime; the difference is length and familiarity. com.bd has been the standard commercial address in the country for many years, so it reads as familiar to a local visitor. Direct .bd only opened to the general public on 19 January 2026, which makes it short and not yet crowded. If your identity rests on local recognition, choose com.bd; if it rests on a short address, choose .bd.

You did, but the window has closed. Before opening direct second-level registration to everyone on 19 January 2026, the operator ran a priority period whose qualifying test was precisely an existing third-level registration: holders whose domain was registered before 15 October 2025 could claim the matching direct name ahead of others. That window closed on 18 January 2026. If the short equivalent is still free today, you can register it on the ordinary first come, first served basis.

Yes. The operator's rate card separates names by length and keeps a dedicated row for two-letter third-level names, with the example given directly in com.bd form. The card also notes that such names are offered in limited numbers. Testing a short corporate acronym under com.bd therefore makes sense; just check the direct .bd equivalent as well, because the two zones are separate name pools.

Yes. A change of ownership needs an agreement between the two parties and verification documents from both; both parties must hold a portal profile; the first party sends the request with the documents to the second, the operator verifies it and issues an invoice, and the second party pays. The rate card lists this as a separate item. There is no registrar transfer as such: a single operator runs the zone, and the companies listed alongside it act as its resellers.

Yes. The operator publishes a separate late fee for overdue names, and paying it recovers the registration, so a missed due date does not release the name immediately. What has never been published is how many days that window lasts, so do not rely on it. Put the renewal date in your own calendar and complete the payment before a late fee enters the picture at all.
