How to search

Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "pk". Pass the name as companyName. Pakistan takes no other search criteria.

Examples

{  "jurisdictionCode": "pk",  "advancedQuery": {    "name": "ENGRO"  }}

The same query also matches PAKISTAN.

Company identifiers

Pakistan has no number-based search: find a company by name, then use the kausateId search returns. These schemes label the values that come back in a company’s identifiers.

Identifier	Appears as	Format
Pakistani CUIN Pakistan SECP Company Universal Identification Number (7-digit zero-padded)	`pk_cuin`	`^\d{7}$`

Gotchas

Trap	What happens
Name search only	Search matches on company name only — there's no way to search by CUIN or any other identifier.
Reserved names are invisible	A name SECP has only reserved — approved but not yet used to incorporate — won't appear in search. No-match means no incorporated company holds that name, not that it's available.
Capped at 100 results	Search results are capped at 100 matches, with no total count and no indication that more exist. If a search returns exactly 100 results, treat it as a sign there may be more and narrow your query (a longer or more specific name) rather than assuming you have the full set.
No legal form returned	Legal form (e.g. Private Limited, Single Member Company) isn't returned. Don't infer it from the name — suffixes like "Limited" or "Ltd" span multiple legal forms.

Glossary

Term	Meaning
`Incorporated`	The only company status this jurisdiction's search returns. It confirms the company is on SECP's register — it does not mean the company is current on its annual filings or otherwise in good standing, since this registry's public search does not report that distinction.
