The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) has updated and reactivated the “Pehchaan Mobile App” based on real-time records of all criminals in the province.
The Pehchaan App had been launched in 2022; however, its operation came to a halt after a while but now since it has been updated, the record of all criminals across Punjab is available in real time.
The app aims to facilitate public to search or find the criminal record or background of any person they are dealing with e.g., employee verification, marriage or business dealing etc.
شہری کسی کو گھریلو ملازم یا کرایہ دار رکھنے سے پہلے پنجاب سیف سٹیز اتھارٹی کی “پہچان ایپ” سے کریمنل ریکارڈ ضرور چیک کریں۔ ایپ کے ذریعے کسی بھی شناختی کارڈ کا کریمنل ریکارڈ اور ایف آئی آر کی تفصیل دیکھی جاسکتی ہے۔

Having downloading the app on his/her Android Mobile Device, anyone can have an easy access to the criminal background record of any person through the Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC). It will help him or her verify background of a person by checking if a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against them.
