F.A.Q

You can check SIM owner details on our website, by downloading our app, or using official methods such as visiting the mobile operator franchise, etc.

Well, it depends on your checking purpose. If you need to check your own SIM registration details, then it is all fine. However, if you are looking for a misuse, then it is 100% illegal.

You only need your 13-digit CNIC number, your fingerprints for biometric verification, and that’s it.

Anyone who has a valid ID card or CNIC can register a SIM in Pakistan.

Yes, only if the foreigner has a valid Visa and Passport. Moreover, an Afghan can get a SIM against a valid PoR card.

You can change the SIM ownership of a deceased individual only if you are a blood relative or spouse of that individual. The steps are mentioned below:

  1. Go to the customer service franchise of your mobile network operator, like Jazz or Ufone.
  2. Bring the following documents with you:
    1. Original SIM Card
    2. FRC (proof of relationship with the deceased person).
    3. Death certificate
    4. SIM card usage proof, such as the last balance load or the last call number.

If you do not want to take ownership of a deceased person’s SIM, then you can block the SIM using the steps below:

  1. Get the death certificate of the deceased person and visit the mobile operator’s customer care center.
  2. Ask them to block the SIM and also provide the proof of the relationship with the deceased, such as the FRC.

You need to visit the franchise with your original CNIC and ask for the postpaid SIM. Pass the BVS and get your SIM.

To transfer the ownership of a SIM, both the transferor and transferee have to visit the mobile operator service center and pass the verification process.

To get a duplicate SIM, you need to visit the SIM center or franchise and bring your CNIC with you. Also, the original SIM must be registered in your name.

You can buy a SIM from Mobile Operators’ Customer Services Centers (CSCs), Franchises, temporary stalls, and Registered Retailers. However, the SIM selling point must have a biometric verification device.

You can use a valid SNIC or a NICOP to buy a SIM if you don’t have a CNIC.

You need to visit the franchise and perform a biometric to disown a SIM. However, you can only disown a SIM if it is older than 60 days after activation.
