Catch common preparation mistakes

Review the three points that matter for your case. This is a self-check, not document validation or an eligibility decision.

I will use the official citizen portal to check status.
I will enter my request details only on the government site.
I will review the authority's next-step instructions if the status changes.

Privacy: Ticks stay on this page until you leave or refresh it. Your checkbox selections are not submitted or saved. The website may still log ordinary page visits.

Important: Even with all boxes checked, only the official authority can confirm eligibility, requirements and application status.

Office and programme variations

Pre-enrolment is online; biometric enrolment requires a designated centre and appointment instructions.

Educational comparison examples, not official field validation. Do not enter names, identity numbers, dates of birth or passwords here.

Status of existing request

Compare against: Your government-issued acknowledgement and the official citizen portal.

Avoid: Using a copied third-party status screen as an official decision.

Identity details

Compare against: Your original citizenship record; review spellings and dates before submitting to the official portal.

Avoid: Relying only on a handwritten or unofficial copy.

Official service and centre

Compare against: The government citizen portal and the office/centre it directs you to.

Avoid: Treating NepalAnswers as a biometric or status-checking service.
