Pakistan's Own Domain, Open To Everyone
Of all the extensions we sell, .pk is the one that carries the most straightforward local trust signal — the moment a customer in Lahore or Karachi sees a .pk address, they know they're looking at something built for Pakistan, not a generic international site pointed at a local audience as an afterthought. It's also the extension with the fewest hoops to jump through: unlike .com.pk, which PKNIC reserves specifically for registered businesses, .pk is open to any individual with a valid CNIC. That makes it the natural first choice for freelancers, personal brands, and small business owners who haven't formalized a company registration yet but still want a domain that says "Pakistani" clearly.
The CNIC requirement itself is worth understanding rather than dreading — it's the reason .pk domains are meaningfully harder to hijack or spoof than most global extensions, since PKNIC verifies a real identity is attached to the registration. We collect that information during checkout and walk you through exactly what's needed before you pay, so there's no surprise email asking for a scanned ID three days into what you thought was a done deal. Activation typically completes within a few hours once verification clears.

.PK Domain FAQ
Yes. PKNIC requires a valid CNIC for Pakistani nationals, or a passport for overseas Pakistanis and foreign nationals, as part of the registrant record for every .pk domain.
Both individuals and businesses can register .pk directly, unlike .com.pk which is reserved specifically for registered businesses. It's the most flexible Pakistani extension available.
.pk is open to anyone with a valid CNIC or passport. .com.pk is reserved for businesses and typically requires proof of business registration such as an NTN. If you're an individual, freelancer, or aren't ready to show business documents yet, .pk is usually the simpler choice.
