.com.bd domains: what to expect

`.bd` names are administered by BTCL, and the process is documentary rather than instant. Knowing that up front avoids most of the frustration. **Registration takes days, not seconds.** BTCL reviews supporting documents — trade licence or NID — before the name is delegated. Two to five working days is typical. **The term is two years minimum.** There is no one-year registration. **Transfers are not standard EPP.** Moving a `.bd` name between providers is a registry request, not an auth-code transfer. We submit it on your behalf. **WHOIS privacy follows registry policy.** Registrant details are visible where BTCL requires it. We queue the paperwork the moment the order is paid and keep the provisioning job open until the registry confirms, so the status you see in your dashboard is the real registry status, not an optimistic guess.
