.gov.pk: what to check before applying
For a .gov.pk request, establish the organisation's eligibility and who is authorised to apply. PKNIC describes this namespace as primarily federal-government use, with separate provisions for provincial naming.
Eligibility and naming
Compare the organisation and proposed name with the current PKNIC policy. Confirm the appropriate federal or provincial namespace rather than assuming that a government connection is sufficient.
Prepare the enquiry
Gather the organisation name, proposed domain, authorised contact and existing service details. Confirm the current document list for this application; do not send identity material in a general chat.
Separate costs and approval
Review registry charges separately from any assistance fee. Do not plan around assumed approval or a fixed number of days; track the application and requests for further information.
Plan the connected services
Identify the people responsible for website, mail and verification records. Preserve the existing zone before changing DNS and agree how the destination will be validated.
Assign renewal ownership
Keep the account owner, contacts and next payment date documented. Name a renewal owner inside the organisation instead of relying only on a reminder message.
