Check the SIMs on Your Own CNIC or Number
Pick a tab and press the button to see the official PTA check for your own CNIC, or for the SIM in your phone. Nothing you type leaves this page, and this site does not look up other people's numbers.
“Pak SIM Data” is not an official PTA or NADRA service. It is a name used by unofficial websites and apps that claim to show who owns a Pakistani mobile number, and the word “official” in their titles is misleading. The only official SIM checks in Pakistan are PTA’s cnic.sims.pk portal and the 668, 667 and 76367 SMS services, and none of them reveal a stranger’s identity.

This page explains what “Pak SIM Data” and “paksim data” sites are, where their information comes from, why it is so often wrong, the legal risk of using it, and the four official checks that do the job lawfully. For the overall picture, see our main guide to checking SIM owner details in Pakistan.
What “Pak SIM Data” actually is
Search for “pak sim data” and you will find many sites and apps with similar names: Pak SIM Data, PakSim Data, Pak SIM Data Official, SIM Data 2026 and so on. They usually offer a search box where you type a mobile number or CNIC and get back a name, CNIC and sometimes an address.
What they have in common:
- None is run by PTA, NADRA or a mobile operator. PTA’s official domains are pta.gov.pk and cnic.sims.pk. NADRA’s is nadra.gov.pk. Any other domain is not a government service.
- “Official” is a label, not a fact. Adding “official” to a site name or app title does not give it access to government or operator records. It is there to win your trust and your clicks.
- The same sites come and go. Names and domains change often, so a “Pak SIM Data” site you used last year may be a different operation today.
This website is not official either. We are an independent guide. We do not run lookups, hold SIM data or ask for CNIC numbers. See about us.
Where Pak SIM Data sites get their data
Operators keep subscriber records and do not sell or publish them. So when an unofficial site does return a real-looking name, the data generally comes from one of these:
- Old leaks. Copies of subscriber records from past data leaks that have circulated online for years.
- Collected searches. Numbers and CNICs that earlier visitors typed into the site, stored and reused.
- Made-up results. Some sites return a random but believable name and city for any number. Nothing is actually looked up.
In every case, the data is either stolen, stale or invented. None of it comes from a live connection to an operator.
Why Pak SIM Data results are often wrong
Even if a leaked record was correct when it was copied, SIM ownership in Pakistan changes constantly. A copied record cannot keep up with:
- Mobile Number Portability (MNP). Numbers move between networks. A prefix such as 0300, 0311, 0333 or 0345 no longer proves which operator a number is on, and a ported number has a new subscriber record.
- Disowning. People remove SIMs from their CNIC at operator centres. After that, the old name in a leaked record is simply wrong.
- Reissued numbers. Numbers that are given up can later be issued to someone else, with fresh biometric verification. An old leak would still show the previous owner.
- 2026 mass blocking. PTA reported in August 2026 that 1.838 million SIMs were blocked between January and July 2026. This included 903,230 SIMs registered to deceased persons’ CNICs, 244,357 SIMs on cancelled or expired CNICs, and 691,102 illegal SIMs.
So a “Pak SIM Data” result can point you to the wrong person. Acting on that, for example by confronting or accusing someone, can harm an innocent stranger.
The legal risk of using Pak SIM Data
Looking up and using other people’s identity information without authorisation is not a grey area. Under Section 16 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, unauthorised use of identity information can lead to up to 3 years in prison, a fine of up to Rs 5 million, or both.
There are practical risks too:
- Your own data. Whatever number or CNIC you type in may be stored and reused, including your own.
- Payment scams. Many sites show a partial result, then ask for payment or a WhatsApp message to get “full details”. Money sent this way is usually lost.
- Malware. “Pak SIM Data” apps from outside the official app stores can carry harmful software.
PTA and NCCIA have also carried out joint raids against illegal SIM activity in 2026. Being linked to misuse of SIM and identity data is a real exposure.
The four official checks to use instead
If what you want is information about SIMs, these four official channels cover every lawful need. Each one answers a different question.
| Your question | Official check | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| How many SIMs are on my CNIC? | cnic.sims.pk: enter your 13-digit CNIC and click Submit | Total SIMs registered on that CNIC. Free. Foreign nationals can use the “Foreign ID” option |
| Which networks are my SIMs on? | SMS your 13-digit CNIC (no dashes) to 668 | Active SIMs on your CNIC by operator. About Rs 2 + tax. Numbers are not listed |
| Is the SIM in my hand registered to me? | Send “MNP” to 667 from that SIM | Registered owner’s name, partly hidden CNIC, activation date. Small SMS charge may apply |
| Which network is this number on? | Send “N 03XXXXXXXXX” to 76367 | Current network only. Rs 2 + tax. Never the owner |

If you need to know who is behind a number
Sometimes the real reason for searching “pak sim data” is a caller who is harassing, threatening or trying to defraud you. In that case, the identity of the caller is something the authorities can obtain through legal process, not something you can look up.
- Save evidence: screenshots, call logs, numbers, and any transaction details.
- Report the number to your own operator and get a complaint number.
- For harassment, threats, fraud or identity misuse, contact the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) on the cyber crime helpline 1799.
- Forward spam SMS to 9000.
- If your operator does not resolve the complaint, escalate through the PTA Complaint Management System or call PTA on 0800-55055.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an official Pak SIM Data website?
No. PTA and NADRA do not run any service called Pak SIM Data. The official SIM count tool is cnic.sims.pk, and it only shows how many SIMs are on a CNIC.
Is a Pak SIM Data app on my phone safe?
It cannot give you real, current owner data, and it may collect what you type. The safe choice is to uninstall it and use the official checks above.
Someone showed me my details on a Pak SIM Data site. What should I do?
Check your SIM count on cnic.sims.pk or with 668, and disown any SIM you do not recognise at that operator’s franchise with your original CNIC. If your identity is being misused, report it to NCCIA on 1799. Our SIM database guide has a fuller checklist.
