VPN registration process for organisations, freelancers made easy: PTA

Islamabad: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has announced that the process for VPN registration has been made easier for organisations and freelancers, says a statement.

The telecom regulator confirmed that software houses, call centres, banks, embassies, and freelancers can now easily register their Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) through the PTA's official website.

The statement further highlighted that members of the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) can also take advantage of this streamlined process.

To complete VPN registration, applicants are required to fill out an online form and provide essential details, including the Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) number, company registration details, and tax registration status. Freelancers are also asked to submit proof of their association with a project or company, in the form of a letter or email confirmation.
