The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) has streamlined its registration process in 2026. What used to take weeks now takes 24 hours through the e-registration portal. If you want to earn foreign exchange this year, this is your first stop.
Requirements for Registration
Before you log on, ensure you have clear digital copies of:
- Certificate of Incorporation (CAC): Your company must be a Limited Liability firm or a registered Co-operative.
- Certified True Copy of MEMART: Specifically the pages showing the company’s objects.
- Form CAC 1.1: Particulars of Directors.
- TIN (Tax Identification Number): Must be validated by the FIRS.
The 3-Step Registration Process
- Create a Profile: Visit the NEPC E-Registration portal and create an account using your company email.
- Upload & Pay: Fill in the details and pay the registration fee (typically ₦13,500 for new entrants in 2026) via Remita.
- Download Certificate: Once payment is confirmed and documents are verified, your digital certificate is issued within one working day.
Validity and Renewal
Your NEPC certificate is valid for 2 years (24 months). In 2026, the system sends automated reminders 30 days before expiry. Failure to renew will block your ability to process an e-NXP. Read about the importance of the e-NXP in our Export Documentation Guide.
Conclusion
Registration is the easy part; staying compliant is where the profit lies. Once registered, you can access the Export Expansion Grant (EEG) and other government incentives. Start your journey today!
