How Can I Apply for RNI Title Registration in India?

 If you are planning to start a newspaper, magazine, or any periodical publication in India, obtaining RNI Title Registration is a mandatory first step. RNI stands for the Registrar of Newspapers for India, a statutory authority under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. RNI title registration ensures that your publication name is unique and legally protected, preventing duplication and future disputes.

What Is RNI Title Registration?

RNI title registration is the process of getting official approval for the name (title) of a newspaper or magazine. Without RNI title verification and registration, no publisher is allowed to print or circulate a newspaper or periodical in India. This registration confirms the availability of the title and records essential details such as the language, periodicity, and place of publication.


Who Needs RNI Title Registration?

  • Any individual, partnership firm, company, trust, or society that intends to publish:
  • Newspapers
  • Magazines
  • Journals
  • Periodicals
  • News portals with print editions must apply for RNI title registration before starting publication.

Step-by-Step Process to Apply for RNI Title Registration in India

  Step 1: Decide the Publication Details

Before applying, decide on the title name, language, periodicity (daily, weekly, monthly), and place of publication. It is advisable to shortlist 2–3 title options to avoid rejection due to duplication.

Step 2: File Title Verification Application

The application for title verification is submitted online through the Press Sewa Portal of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. Details of the publisher, editor, and proposed publication must be entered carefully.

Step 3: Review by the District Magistrate

After online submission, the application is forwarded to the District Magistrate (DM) of the proposed place of publication. The DM verifies the applicant’s credentials and forwards recommendations to RNI.

Step 4: RNI Title Approval

The RNI office examines the application to ensure the title is unique and not misleading. Once approved, RNI issues a Title Verification Letter, which is valid for a limited period.

Step 5: Printing and Declaration

After receiving title approval, the publisher must file a declaration under the Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867, before the DM and begin printing within the prescribed timeline.

Step 6: Final RNI Registration

After publishing the first issue, copies of the publication are submitted to RNI for final registration. Upon verification, RNI issues the Certificate of Registration, completing the process.

Timeline for RNI Title Registration

The title verification process generally takes 30 to 60 days, depending on government approvals and document completeness.
