What is an NTN Certificate?
An NTN certificate is a formal document issued by FBR confirming your registration in the national tax system. For individuals, your NTN is the same as your CNIC number. The NTN certificate is required for opening business bank accounts, registering a business, tendering for government contracts, and many other official purposes.

What to Do If Your NTN Certificate Shows Wrong Information
If your NTN certificate displays incorrect information — such as a misspelled name, outdated address, or wrong business description — you must update your taxpayer profile on FBR IRIS before the error causes problems with bank accounts, contracts, or FBR correspondence. Log in to iris.fbr.gov.pk and navigate to the "Registration" tab, then select your registration record to open the profile edit form. Minor updates such as mobile number or email address can usually be changed directly online. For corrections to your business name or registered address, supporting documents must be uploaded: a recent utility bill (electricity or gas) in the name of the business or owner, and a tenancy agreement or property ownership document confirming the business premises.
Once you submit the correction request with supporting documents, FBR processes the update and reflects the changes in your IRIS profile within 3 to 5 working days. In some cases, the Regional Tax Office (RTO) may require you to visit in person to verify documents — particularly for changes to business category or legal name after SECP amendments. Kamboh Associates assists with NTN profile corrections remotely; WhatsApp the incorrect certificate details and required supporting documents to 0328-4675162 and we handle the update on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new NTN certificate after changing my address?
Update the profile on IRIS and download a fresh certificate, since banks and buyers check that the details match.
Is my NTN the same as my CNIC?
Yes. For individual taxpayers in Pakistan, the NTN is the same as your 13-digit CNIC number. You do not receive a separate NTN number - your CNIC is your tax identifier after e-enrollment on FBR IRIS.
How do I get a stamped NTN certificate from FBR?
Visit any FBR Tax Facilitation Centre or Regional Tax Office (RTO) with your original CNIC. They issue a stamped and signed NTN certificate on the spot. You can find the nearest facilitation centre on the FBR website.
I cannot login to FBR IRIS to download my certificate. What should I do?
