What Is NTN Registration?
An NTN (National Tax Number) is issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and is required for filing income tax returns, becoming an Active Filer, opening certain bank accounts, registering property, and running a legal business in Pakistan. Without an NTN, you cannot appear on the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) — meaning you pay higher withholding tax on banking transactions, vehicle registration, and property purchases.
Who Needs an NTN?
- Salaried individuals earning above the taxable threshold
- Freelancers and remote workers (Upwork, Fiverr, Payoneer, direct clients)
- Small business owners, shopkeepers, and traders
- Property owners and investors
- Anyone who wants Active Filer status to reduce withholding tax
Documents Required
- Original CNIC
- Active mobile number registered in your own name
- Personal email address
- Proof of income or address (salary slip, business letterhead, or utility bill)
- For business NTN: business registration or partnership documents
How NTNWaale Registers Your NTN
Send us your CNIC and details via WhatsApp. We create your profile on FBR's IRIS portal, submit your registration, and confirm your NTN — typically the same day or within 24 hours. You'll receive your NTN certificate digitally, ready to use immediately.
NTN Registration Fee
Our NTN registration service starts at PKR 1,500 for a standard individual registration, covering IRIS profile creation, document verification, submission, and your digital certificate. Business and partnership NTN registrations are priced slightly differently depending on structure — see our full pricing page for exact figures, or WhatsApp us your specific case for a quote before you commit to anything.
Downloading & Verifying Your NTN Certificate
Once your NTN is issued, we send you the digital certificate directly, but you can also download or re-verify it yourself anytime through FBR's IRIS portal. If you've lost your original copy or need to check an NTN by CNIC (your own or someone else's, for a business transaction), our dedicated guides walk through both: how to download your NTN certificate from FBR and how to verify an NTN using a CNIC.
