NTN registration in Pakistan

Who needs an NTN?

• Salaried people whose income is above the taxable limit
• Freelancers and IT consultants earning from abroad
• Shopkeepers, traders and business owners
• Anyone buying property or a vehicle who wants filer rates
• Overseas Pakistanis with income or property in Pakistan

Documents you usually need

• Copy of your CNIC
• A mobile number registered in your own name
• An active email address
• Your income source details — salary slip, freelance profile or business address
• For a business: ownership or rent papers and a utility bill of the premises

How registration works

Most delays come from a SIM not registered in your name or a wrong income category. We fill it correctly the first time.

• Create your profile on the FBR Iris portal with your CNIC, mobile and email
• Verify the codes FBR sends to your phone and email
• Fill the registration form (Form 181) with your income and address details
• Submit — your CNIC becomes your NTN once FBR accepts it
