FBR Registration Guide – How to Get Registered Easily in Pakistan
If you’re planning to start a business, invest in stocks, work as a freelancer, or simply want to file your taxes legally in Pakistan, getting registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is your first step.
At Wise Consultants, we make the FBR registration process simple and stress-free for individuals, freelancers, and businesses. This guide explains everything you need to know — step by step.
Why FBR Registration Is Important
- Legal Compliance: It is mandatory for every earning individual and business to register with FBR.
- Tax Benefits: Registered taxpayers get lower tax deductions on bank transactions, mobile bills, and property deals.
- Active Taxpayer Status (ATL): Only FBR-registered individuals can appear on the ATL list — which helps reduce taxes and build credibility.
- Investment & Trade: If you want to invest in PSX, buy property, or run an eCommerce store, FBR registration is the first requirement.
Who Needs to Register with FBR?
- Salaried individuals earning above the taxable limit
- Freelancers and consultants
- Shop owners, traders, and online sellers
- Property owners with rental income
- PSX investors or traders
- Companies and partnerships
Step-by-Step Process for FBR Registration (for Individuals)
١. Create Your Account on IRIS Portal
Go to https://iris.fbr.gov.pk and click on Registration for Unregistered Person.
٢. Enter CNIC Details
Provide your CNIC number, issue date, and mother’s name.
Enter a valid mobile number and email address (must be registered in your name).
٣. Receive PIN Code
You’ll receive an SMS and email with a 6-digit PIN code. Use it to complete the verification.
٤. Log in to IRIS
Once registered, log in to the IRIS system using your CNIC and password.

Add your personal details, residential address, and occupation.
Add business details (if applicable).
