PRGI was formerly known as the Registrar of Newspapers for India (RNI), following the implementation of the Press and Registration of Periodicals Act, 2023 from March 1, 2024.

What Is PRGI Registration?

PRGI registration is required for periodicals containing public news or comments on public news. The registration process is handled online through the Press Sewa Portal, making the application more streamlined and paperless.

PRGI Registration Process

The basic process includes:

• Creating an owner profile on the Press Sewa Portal
• Providing proposed title, language, periodicity, and place of publication
• Adding the publisher and relevant details
• Submitting the required documents and eligibility/content affidavit
• Completing e-sign and applicable fee payment
• Completing printer approval and subsequent portal formalities
• PRGI processing and verification of the application

The documents can vary depending on whether the periodical is owned by an individual or an organization. Common requirements may include identity documents, incorporation documents, authorization letters, and an eligibility and content affidavit.
