Step 1: Create an Account on DIBRS Website
- To create an account on DIBRS, you first need to go to the website and click on “Register.”
- You will then fill out some basic information like your name, email, password, purpose for registering, and user type.

- Now, log into your account. On the left-hand side, click on the “Individual COC” option under the Certificate of Compliance section.
Step 2: Enter Your Device’s IMEI Number(s)
- Enter your phone’s IMEI number allows the PTA to identify your specific device and ensure it is not blocked or illegal to use in Pakistan before registering it.
- You can find your device’s IMEI number by dialing *#06# on your phone. Some phones have more than one IMEI number, so you need to enter all of them if your device has multiple SIM slots.
- On the COC application page, you will select the number of SIM slots your device has (1, 2, 3, etc.)
- Enter the corresponding IMEI number(s) in the fields provided. Entering the correct IMEI number(s) is important for registering your device properly.
Step 3: Generate Payment Slip Identity (PSID)
- After submitting your IMEI numbers, DIBRS will generate a PSID or Payment Slip ID.
- You don’t have to do anything to generate the PSID.
- Now, you will use online or mobile banking to pay the registration tax and fees for your device.
Step 4: Log in to Your PTA Account and Apply for COC
- To log in, go to the DIBRS website and enter the email and password you used to create your account.
- On the left-side menu, click on “Individual COC” under the Certificate of Compliance section.
- Select whether you are a local or international traveler. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully for the COC application.
Step 5: Provide Mobile Number and Operator’s Name
- On the COC application form, you need to enter the mobile number of the device you are registering along with the name of the operator like Jazz, Telenor, Ufone or Zong.
- Select which operator’s SIM card is being used in the device you are registering.
- International travelers who don’t have a Pakistani mobile number will need to enter their passport details instead.
