Choosing a domain for an academic institution

This is a general guide for selecting a relevant domain name for an academic institution in Kenya and the requirements.

Note: Unlike in the other domain names, .ac.ke and .sc.ke domain names cannot be approved for registration without some documentation.

ac.ke:  For Tertiary Institutions such as Polytechnic, Technical Institute, College or University ONLY

KENIC will require either a copy of the Certificate of Registration from the relevant Ministry, a copy of the College Charter or a copy of the Act of Parliament that was passed to establish the Institute. The documents MUST bear the name of the Entity. The document should classify the Entity as a Tertiary Institution: Polytechnic, Technical Institute, College or University.

sc.ke: For Kindergarten, Primary or Secondary School ONLY


KENIC will require a copy of the Certificate of Registration from the Ministry of Education. The document MUST also bear the name of the Entity. The document should classify the Entity as a Kindergarten, Primary or Secondary School.

NOTE: Domains will be REGISTERED once the Supporting Documents have been received. If no documents are received in 3 months' time, the domains applications will automatically be deleted at the registry.
