TM SIM Registration Guide 2026

Your complete manual for legal compliance and uninterrupted mobile services.

What Is TM SIM Registration?

TM SIM registration is the process of linking a TM SIM card with a verified personal identity, such as a national ID card or CNIC. This ensures that every SIM card is used by a legitimate person and can be traced if required by law.

Unregistered SIMs are usually blocked after a given deadline, meaning you cannot make calls, send messages, or use mobile data.

Why Registration is Important

Legal Compliance

Government regulations require all SIM cards to be registered under a valid identity to prevent misuse.

Fraud and Crime Prevention

Registered SIMs help reduce scams, spam calls, and illegal activities by ensuring accountability.

Uninterrupted Mobile Services

An unregistered TM SIM may be suspended or permanently blocked, causing inconvenience to users.

Ownership Protection

If your SIM is registered in your name, you can easily recover it if it is lost or stolen.

Documents Required

Original CNIC / ID
Active TM SIM Card
Mobile for OTP

*Some regions may also require biometric verification.
