The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) requires all mobile devices in Pakistan to be registered with the government. This is to prevent the use of stolen or counterfeit devices, and to track the use of mobile devices for illegal activities.
There are two ways to register your mobile device in Pakistan:
1. Through USSD:
- Dial 8484# from your mobile phone.
- Select the option for “Mobile Registration”.
- Enter your CNIC number and the IMEI number of your device.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the registration process.
2. Through the PTA website:

- Click on the “Mobile Registration” tab.
- Enter your CNIC number and the IMEI number of your device.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the registration process.
New PTA offer:
The PTA has recently introduced a new offer that allows you to register your mobile device for free. This offer is available to all Pakistani citizens who are registering their first mobile device.
