Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
To prepare an accurate life insurance proposal, prepare citizenship or passport, income and occupation details, health and medical history, nominee and contact information, confirm the current process with the licensed insurer and Nepal Insurance Authority framework, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility

- Applicants who need to prepare an accurate life insurance proposal using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Policyholder, insured person, claimant or organization identity matching the policy
- □ citizenship or passport
- □ income and occupation details
- □ health and medical history
- □ nominee and contact information
- □ Official insurer proposal, policy, claim or complaint reference
- □ Official premium, medical, repair or settlement receipt when applicable

Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the licensed insurer and Nepal Insurance Authority framework is the correct authority for this request.

- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched citizenship or passport, income and occupation details, health and medical history, nominee and contact information
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Incorrect health, smoking, occupation or income information can affect underwriting and later claims.

After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
