How to Check or Verify: How to Track Police Character Certificate Status in Pakistan (2026)
To track your Police Character Certificate: (1) Locate the Application ID or Token Number on your PKM receipt or confirmation SMS, (2) Open your province's official tracking portal (e.g. pkm.punjab.gov.pk or prvs.sindhpolice.gov.pk), (3) Enter your CNIC and tracking number to verify if your status is Under Verification, Approved, or Ready for Collection.
Where to Find Your Application Tracking Number
When you submit your application at a Police Khidmat Markaz counter or through a provincial online portal, a unique tracking code is generated. You can find this reference in three primary locations:
Printed Receipt Header
Printed near the top barcode on your physical receipt slip issued at the PKM or Police Facilitation counter (labeled as Tracking ID, Token No, or Case ID).
Official SMS Sender ID
Sent automatically to your registered Pakistani mobile number from official sender IDs such as 8333, PUNJAB-POLICE, ICT-POLICE, or PRVS-SINDH.
Applicant Account Log
Visible under "My Applications" when logged into your registered profile on pkm.punjab.gov.pk or prvs.sindhpolice.gov.pk.
