KATHMANDU — Nepal Telecom (NTC) has introduced an online application facility for transferring ownership of GSM Postpaid mobile numbers. Individual subscribers can now submit the required details through the NTC KYC portal, while final verification and fee payment still require a visit to a Nepal Telecom office or customer service center.
Is NTC SIM Ownership Transfer Completely Online?

To complete the Nepal Telecom SIM ownership transfer, the applicant or their authorized representative must visit a Nepal Telecom office or customer service center. At the counter, they must pay the applicable ownership-transfer fee and present the original citizenship certificate for identity verification.
Who Can Use the Service?
Currently, the online application facility is restricted to individual NTC postpaid subscribers. Corporate and institutional customers are not eligible to use the digital portal for this service and must complete the entire name transfer process in person at a Nepal Telecom office.
