When a family member passes away, dealing with SIMs and mobile accounts may not be the first thing relatives think about. However, a deceased person’s CNIC may still be associated with mobile SIM registrations, old phone numbers, WhatsApp accounts, mobile wallets, banking services, email accounts and other digital services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That does not<\/strong> mean every SIM appearing against the person’s CNIC is fraudulent. A family may simply need to identify which numbers were legitimately used, which ones are no longer required, and whether any unfamiliar registration needs further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Deceased Family Member CNIC SIM Check<\/strong> can therefore be an important part of closing a person’s digital affairs responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pakistan’s official PTA SIM Information System provides a way to check the number of SIMs registered against a CNIC.
