Pakistan Official Websites Directoryسرکاری ویب سائٹس کی فہرست

About this directory

This directory lists the official websites of Pakistani federal and provincial departments and public services in one place: identity and passports, telecoms, tax, social protection, banking, energy regulators, education, recruitment, transport, provincial services, banks, mobile operators and government portals. Every link was checked to be reachable on the date shown, and unreachable or doubtful sites were left out.

Fake websites imitating NADRA, FBR, PTA, BISP and other departments are a real problem: they collect CNIC numbers, phone numbers and fees from people who think they are dealing with the government. This page helps you reach the genuine site directly. VIPTools.pk is an independent website and is not itself a government service.

How can you recognise an official Pakistani website?

Most federal and provincial government websites in Pakistan use addresses ending in .gov.pk, such as nadra.gov.pk, fbr.gov.pk and pta.gov.pk. Some public bodies use other domains: universities and boards often use .edu.pk, some regulators and councils use .org.pk, and banks and mobile operators use their own commercial domains. So the ending alone is a useful clue, not a guarantee.

Fraudsters create look-alike sites with similar names, extra words or different endings, and advertise them through search ads, social media and messaging apps. They may offer “BISP payment checks”, “SIM owner details”, “CNIC information” or “quick passports”, and ask for CNIC numbers, phone numbers, OTPs or fees. Genuine services never ask you to pay an individual’s account or share a one-time password with a caller.

The safest habit is to reach government services through a trusted list like this one, a link printed on an official document, or by typing the address yourself — and to check the address bar carefully before entering any personal details.

Practical examples

Checking a phone’s PTA status

Instead of searching and clicking an advert, use the PTA DIRBS link in the Telecom section, or the SMS method described in our PTA guide. Fake “PTA check” apps and sites have been used to collect personal data.

BISP eligibility

BISP’s official 8171 portal is listed under Social protection. Messages claiming you have won a BISP payment and asking for a fee are fraudulent; BISP does not charge beneficiaries.

Filing income tax

Use the FBR IRIS link under Tax & business. Never enter your IRIS password on a site reached through an unsolicited message.

A link that no longer works

Government sites sometimes move. If a listed link stops working, search for the department’s name, check the domain carefully, and tell us so we can verify and update the directory.

Common use cases

• Citizens reach NADRA, DGIP, FBR, PTA and BISP services safely.
• Overseas Pakistanis find official portals for passports, NICOP and taxes.
• Students find boards, HEC, IBCC and admission sites.
• Job seekers reach official recruitment commissions.
• Elderly relatives are helped by family members to use genuine sites.

Accuracy, limitations and privacy

Each link was checked to be reachable on the date shown; some sites block automated checks but open normally in a browser. Reachability does not mean a site’s content is current, and departments can change addresses without notice. Sites that could not be reached or had security-certificate errors were left out rather than listed.

The directory only links to external sites; VIPTools.pk does not collect or forward any information to them. Always read each department’s own instructions and privacy terms before entering personal details.

• Links can change; recheck the address bar on every visit.
• The list covers major services, not every government office.
• VIPTools.pk is independent and not affiliated with any department listed.

Tips and best practices

• Bookmark the official sites you use regularly instead of searching each time.
• Never share OTP codes, passwords or PINs with anyone who calls or messages you.
• Be suspicious of offers to check “CNIC details” or “SIM owner” for a fee — they are not legitimate.
• Report fake sites and scam messages to the department concerned or through the Pakistan Citizen Portal.
• Check for https and the correct domain before typing any personal information.
