Pak Sim Data: Check SIM Owner Details Online (November 2025)

What is Pak Sim Data?

Pak sim data is Pakistan’s official SIM registration database managed by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) through NADRA integration. Every mobile connection in Pakistan requires biometric verification with a valid CNIC, creating a centralized record of SIM ownership.

Current Statistics (November 2025):

• 194+ million active SIM cards registered
• 5 major telecom operators (Jazz, Telenor, Zong, Ufone, SCOM)
• 5 SIM limit per network, per CNIC
• 99.8% biometric verification compliance

This system prevents SIM fraud, identity theft, and ensures mobile security for banking, government services, and digital payments connected to your mobile number.

Why You Need to Check Pak Sim Data Regularly

Your mobile number is now linked to:

• Financial Services: JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank accounts, mobile wallets
• Government Systems: NADRA, FBR tax records, passport verification
• Digital Identity: Two-factor authentication for 50+ services

• Identity theft complications
• Legal questioning by authorities

Recommended check frequency: Every 2 months using official methods.
