The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) has introduced a Digital E-Card for registered engineers, replacing the printed PEC card as the official proof of registration. According to a report by CW Pakistan, which cited the council’s announcement, the E-Card is now available in each engineer’s PEC login profile and can also be accessed through the NADRA Pak ID app, where it can be used for verification and official purposes.
PEC has asked engineers to go digital with their registration and to use the E-Card as the official proof of their PEC registration wherever it is required — accessible at any time and from any place, straight from a phone.
What the Digital E-Card Changes
The biggest change is that the physical PEC card has been discontinued. Engineers who have relied on the printed card to prove their registration will now need to present the Digital E-Card instead. Because the card lives on a phone, engineers no longer need to carry a printed document or wait for a new card to be printed and delivered.
Linking the E-Card to the NADRA Pak ID app also gives it a verification route tied to Pakistan’s national digital identity system, which should make it easier for employers, clients and government authorities to confirm that a person is genuinely registered with the council. The Pak ID app has been adding features in recent weeks, including digital identity cards for family members and QR code verification of documents — a development covered in our earlier report on Pakistan’s push towards digital identity documents.
How to Access Your E-Card on the NADRA Pak ID App
For registered engineers, the change means checking that their PEC login profile is active and that they can open the E-Card, since it is now the main proof of registration. The card appears in the engineer’s PEC portal account, and through the Pak ID mobile application, it can be presented wherever registration proof is demanded.
Two questions remain unanswered for now: PEC did not say in its announcement whether any fee applies to the digital card, and it did not explain how organisations that still ask for the physical card will be informed of the change. The council will likely address these points through its portal and other official channels as more engineers begin using the digital version — and engineers who need help can contact PEC through those channels.
PEC’s Digitisation Push: Online Renewals and December 2026 Target
The E-Card forms part of PEC’s wider move to digitise its operations. PEC Chairman Waseem Nazir said earlier this year that the council aims to fully digitise its systems by December 2026, with licensing, registration, verification and other processes carried out online.
The council has already introduced an instant renewal facility that allows contractors to renew their licences within 24 hours, and it is preparing an e-licence facility for contractors. It has also signed an agreement with NADRA to provide digital identity services for engineers at the national level — and the E-Card’s availability through the Pak ID app is one visible result of that cooperation.
PEC has described its digital reforms as a way to modernise engineering services, reduce delays and make registration and licensing more efficient. If the rollout goes smoothly, engineers in Pakistan will soon manage their entire professional registration — from renewal to verification — without touching a single paper form. More details on the council’s services are available on the official Pakistan Engineering Council website, and information on the identity app is published on the official NADRA website.
