FBR Active Taxpayer Status Checker
Choose a FBR identifier, enter the number and check the current Active Taxpayer List result without leaving NexusNova.
The lookup is sent to FBR through NexusNova's secure verification endpoint. The identifier is used only for this lookup and is not displayed in the result.
Check your filer status
What this checker does
NexusNova sends the selected identifier to the FBR IRIS 2.0 Active Taxpayer List verification service and shows the returned status on this page. Normal results stay on NexusNova; the official FBR portal remains available as a reference and fallback.

Supported FBR identifiers
- CNIC — 13 digits.
- NTN — 7 digits.
- Passport No. — up to 20 characters.
- Reg/Inc. No. — up to 20 characters.
Privacy and safety
NexusNova does not intentionally store the identifier submitted through this checker and does not log it in the application response. Only the last four characters are used in the displayed result to help you confirm which lookup completed.
Official references
Do not treat a failed lookup as a tax conclusion
An upstream FBR service can be unavailable or change its response behavior. A failed request therefore does not automatically mean that a taxpayer is not on the Active Taxpayer List. When the result affects a filing or transaction, use the official FBR service to confirm the current record and keep the verification date with your notes.
Protect tax identifiers
CNIC, NTN and passport values are sensitive. Use the checker only when authorized, avoid publishing complete identifiers in screenshots and keep the submitted value out of public messages. Privacy is part of using a verification tool correctly.
What an ATL lookup result means
Pakistan's Active Taxpayer List is an official tax-status reference maintained through FBR processes. This checker is a convenience layer for attempting a lookup using a supported identifier format; it is not the legal record itself and should not be treated as a tax opinion. A match, non-match, timeout or formatting error can have different causes, so read the returned status and message rather than drawing a conclusion from a single failed request.
Check a status carefully
- Choose the identifier type supported by the form and enter the number in the requested format.
- Double-check digits and any country-specific formatting before submitting.
- Review the exact returned result and the date of the lookup where shown.
- If the status affects withholding, filing or a transaction, verify it using FBR's official portal or the relevant official tax process.
For example, a mistyped CNIC or NTN can produce an unsuccessful lookup even when the underlying person or organisation has a valid record. An unavailable network service can also prevent a result. A failed request must not be translated into a claim that someone is a non-filer, is ineligible for a transaction or owes a particular tax amount.
Protect tax identifiers
CNIC, NTN and similar identifiers are sensitive personal or business information. Enter only details you are authorised to use, do not share screenshots containing identifiers publicly, and avoid sending passwords or verification codes to anyone claiming to help with a lookup. The checker does not replace an official FBR certificate or the advice of a qualified tax professional.
ATL checker questions
Does an unsuccessful lookup prove non-filer status?
No. Check the identifier format, service availability and official FBR status before reaching a conclusion.
Can I use this result as an official certificate?
No. Use the relevant official FBR record or process where proof is required.
