In certain circumstances a GOV.PK may be used for a high level Provincial Department, that is unique in the province, if the name of the province is prominent in the domain name (e.g. Punjab-Police.gov.pk, etc).
To avoid inappropriate use of government domain names, the .gov.pk domain names are kept inactive after registration. For activation of the GOV domains, following requirements apply:
- A letter of authorization signed by the Head of the government organization (or properly delegated authority).
- This authorization letter must be on the original official stationary/letterhead (no photocopies or laser printed letterheads).
- A CNIC copy of the authority signing the authorization letter.
