.gov.pk Domain Registration is the official process for securing a restricted top-level domain reserved exclusively for the Government of Pakistan. Managed by PKNIC, this extension acts as a digital seal of authenticity for federal and authorized provincial departments, ensuring that citizens can easily identify and trust official government services and information online.
Only registered government departments, ministries, federal agencies, and authorized state-owned organizations are eligible for .gov.pk Domain Registration. Unlike generic extensions, individuals, private companies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are strictly prohibited from registering this domain to maintain its integrity and public trust.
To complete a .gov.pk Domain Registration, you must submit an original authorization letter on official department stationery/letterhead signed by the Head of the Department or an authorized officer. Additionally, a copy of the signatory's Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) must be provided to PKNIC for verification. Scanned copies or photocopies of the letterhead are typically rejected.
While .gov.pk Domain Registration is primarily for federal entities, provincial departments usually use their specific sub-domains, such as .gop.pk (Punjab), .gos.pk (Sindh), or .gkp.pk (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). However, a provincial department may use a .gov.pk domain in exceptional cases if it is unique to the province and includes the province name in the URL (e.g., punjab-police.gov.pk).
During the .gov.pk Domain Registration process, the domain is initially placed in an inactive state by PKNIC. It only becomes live after the physical verification of the required authorization letter and CNIC. This security measure ensures that no unauthorized entity can represent a government office online before their credentials are manually reviewed.
Like most .pk extensions, .gov.pk Domain Registration requires a minimum commitment of two years. You cannot register or renew the domain for a single year; however, you can choose to pay for up to ten years in advance to ensure long-term stability for your department's digital infrastructure.
