SIM SAFETY
Identity misuse and unauthorised SIM registration
Reduce identity exposure and respond to signs that a connection may have been opened without your permission.
On this page
Identity misuse can involve several services. An unknown SIM count is one warning sign, but it is not proof that every account linked to your identity has been compromised.
Reduce unnecessary exposure
Share identity documents only when a legitimate process requires them. Verify the recipient and purpose. Do not post a full CNIC, subscriber message or complaint attachment in a public group.
Watch for changes you did not request
Keep an eye on unexplained connection counts, unexpected SIM replacement messages and account-recovery changes. Investigate each issue with the provider responsible for that record.
Report a specific problem
Use unauthorised SIM reporting for a disputed mobile registration. Contact NADRA through its official channels for an identity-record concern. Ask what protective or corrective options exist for your case rather than assuming a universal “fraud flag” service.
Keep evidence organised
Maintain a private timeline, references and responses. Separate confirmed facts from suspicions when reporting. Avoid accusing a named person based only on an unverified lookup result.
References and next steps
General preparation guidance is distinguished from operator-specific requirements. Confirm the requirements for your own transaction with the responsible provider.
