Free criminal-record search for Pakistanis
Pehchaan Criminal Record Check is a complimentary service that lets Pakistani residents perform quick background searches on people. Its purpose is to add a layer of protection—helping reduce instances of abuse and criminal activity by providing fast access to criminal record information. Users should treat the app’s results as preliminary and, whenever feasible, verify official records through a police station.
How the tool finds records
The app—built by the Punjab Police together with the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA)—looks up records using an individual’s Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC). Results indicate whether a person has an FIR (First Information Report) registered against them, which is the police document filed for cognizable offenses.
Practical situations to consider it
- When you’re hiring staff or screening job candidates, use the app as part of your vetting process.
- Ahead of marriage or engagement, check for any registered criminal complaints against the person.
Confirming the data with authorities
- Visit your local police station to validate any findings shown in the app.
- Alternatively, contact the police by phone to ask about the accuracy of the record.
Key restrictions and best practices
The service requires a Pakistani phone number at sign-up, so it’s intended only for Pakistanis. While the app offers valuable initial insight, always confirm details with the police before taking decisions that depend on someone’s criminal history.
Final recommendation
Treat Pehchaan Criminal Record Check as a helpful screening aid—not a definitive legal determination. Use it to reduce risk, but follow up with official verification from law-enforcement authorities for any consequential action.
