Who Should Be the Registrant?

The registrant should be the head of the religious institution (e.g: Chief Monk, Pastor, Imam) or an authorized representative. This ensures that the domain is registered to someone with full authority over the religious place.

Can the Developer Be the Registrant of the Domain?

No, you can't. If you are registering the domain on behalf of a religious place as a developer, you cannot use your own name as the registrant. The .LK domain registration requires the actual head or authorized representative's details.
