About VehicleCheckPK
Last updated
VehicleCheckPK is a single place to check a Pakistani vehicle registration number, whichever region issued it.
Why it exists
Vehicle registration in Pakistan is not held in one register. Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Islamabad Capital Territory each maintain their own, run by their own excise department, on their own portal. A plate registered in one will not appear in another.
That means someone checking a used car before buying it has to know which region issued the plate, find the right portal, and hope it is working. The portals are frequently not working, the largest of them, Punjab's MTMIS, was unavailable on every attempt during our testing.
The provincial governments have no particular reason to build a cross-province lookup, so the fragmentation is permanent. This service exists to sit across it: one box, any registration number, any region, and an answer even when a portal is down.
What it does not do
It does not look up people. Some of these portals will return every vehicle a person owns from their national ID number; we have deliberately not built that, for reasons set out on the data sources page.
It is also not a government service and has no official status. The excise departments hold the authoritative records. We read from them and say clearly where each answer came from and when.
