We handle the FBR IRIS portal.
You get your NTN certificate.

You’ll need the Certificate of Incorporation from SECP, CNIC copies of all directors, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, registered office address proof with a utility bill, and company bank account details or a letter of intent.

Yes. Non-Resident Pakistanis register using their NICOP – it’s the standard document for overseas Pakistanis completing NTN registration remotely. No CNIC needed if you hold a valid NICOP.

Your NTN is your tax registration number – it puts you in the FBR system. Filer status is what you get after filing your annual income tax return. You need the NTN first, then file your return to appear on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) and unlock reduced withholding tax rates. One leads to the other.

An inactive NTN usually means no return has been filed for consecutive years. Active status can be restored by filing outstanding returns and updating your registration profile on FBR IRIS. Our team handles the full restoration process, including back-year filings where required. Already have an NTN but it shows as inactive? WhatsApp us your CNIC for a free status audit.

Yes, fully remote. Overseas Pakistanis complete NTN registration using their NICOP and digital document submission. No physical visit to Pakistan or any FBR office is required at any stage.

Under FBR rules clarified in 2025, a Pakistani citizen who resides outside Pakistan for more than 183 days in a tax year qualifies as a non-resident. This affects how Pakistan-sourced income is taxed and which return category applies to your situation. Getting this classification wrong at registration creates compliance problems that can take months to correct – it’s worth confirming before you submit.

Profile changes – address, phone number, business name – require a change request on the IRIS portal with supporting documents. Our team handles all profile corrections as part of post-registration support. No separate fee for standard updates.
