Become an expert – The Nepali Comment

Who you are

Basic identity — appears on your public profile exactly as entered.

Full name * As it appears on your professional licence. Shown publicly. Professional email * Preferably a domain-based email (firm, hospital, institution). A domain email scores higher — it confirms institutional affiliation.

Phone number * Used for verification call only — never shown publicly. City / Location *

LinkedIn or professional profile URL Optional but significantly increases your trust score.

Your profession

We verify every licence number against the issuing body. Licence is optional — experienced professionals without a formal licence can still apply.

Profession * Select your primary licensed profession. If you have more than one, pick the one you'll mostly answer under.

Licence / Registration number Optional — leave blank if you don't hold a formal licence. We'll verify what you provide against the issuing regulator. Year of registration / enrolment The year your licence was first issued — not your year of graduation.

Depth of expertise

We need to know what you're actually good at — not just your job title.

Years of active practice * Post-licence years only. Internship/residency doesn't count. Current employment status *

Primary specialisation — one precise phrase * "Property & Family Law" scores better than "Law." "CBT for Anxiety" beats "Therapy." Notable cases, clients, or institutions Anonymised is fine. Optional — shown on profile.

This section alone decides most of our approvals. We need to see how you actually answer.

SAMPLE QUESTION TO ANSWER

"I'm a first-time buyer looking at land in Lalitpur. The seller says the lalpurja is not in their name yet — it's still in a deceased parent's name. They say it's 'in process.' Should I wait, and what should I demand in writing?"

I will not answer questions outside my licensed area of practice. If a question is outside your expertise, flag it rather than guess. I understand my answers are indexed publicly and permanently. Your answer may appear in Google Search under your name. I will notify TNC if my licence status changes or is suspended. The verified badge is tied to an active, valid licence. I accept that TNC can remove my profile if I go 30 days without responding. Silent experts damage user trust. Activity is required to keep the badge.

"Property Law · 8 years · Kathmandu" Why are you applying? * One honest sentence. We look for experts who want to help — not just visibility or backlinks. Applicants who mention community, access, or impact score higher than those who only mention revenue or SEO.
