Reality check: There’s no public website that shows every FIR in Sindh. For privacy and legal reasons, you cannot browse someone else’s FIR. You can track your own complaint by using the Sindh Police’s official portals or by contacting the police station.
Quick answer
If you’ve filed an FIR or complaint in Sindh, you can follow its status using the official IGP Complaint Management System or by contacting the police station. CPLC maintains a secure FIR database for law‑enforcement use only. You’ll need your CNIC and a tracking or complaint number to check status. No service lets you search other people’s FIRs, and you may need to visit the station for a copy.
In a Hurry? Checklist
- Have your CNIC and tracking/complaint number ready.
- Use the Sindh Police IGP Complaint Management System to track complaints.
- Call Police Helpline 15 for assistance.
- Visit the police station or CPLC if you need a physical FIR copy.
- Use Pakistan Citizen’s Portal for complaints not resolved via police.

Overview and requirements to Check Sindh and Karachi FIR Online
An FIR (First Information Report) is a formal record of a cognizable offence, and its contents are confidential. According to CPLC, it maintains a daily‑updated FIR database since 1987 that logs complainants, suspects and police station details. The public can’t browse this database. Only the complainant or a concerned party may check status by providing their CNIC and a tracking or case number. Sindh Police’s IGP Complaint Management System lets you track complaints made after 25 April 2025. For older complaints, you must use the previous complaints portal or contact the station.
Requirements:
- CNIC number of the complainant.
- Tracking/complaint number (issued when filing complaint).
- Access to the internet or phone for helplines.
- For physical copies, bring original CNIC and copy to the police station or CPLC.
Method 1 – Track FIR/complaint through IGP Complaint Management System
- Open the Sindh Police IGP Complaint Management System website ().
- On the home page, choose Track under “Register your complaint OR Track your complaint status”.
- Enter your complaint tracking number and CNIC.
- Submit to see your complaint’s status (pending, in process or completed). If your complaint was lodged before 25 April 2025, follow the link provided for the older portal.
- Note any actions required or messages; contact your police station if details are missing.
Method 2 – Check status via Police Record Verification System
- Visit the Police Record Verification portal (). The portal’s landing page says “Police Record Verification System” and has a Track Your Application box.
- Enter your CNIC number and case ID (provided when you apply for verification).
- Complete the CAPTCHA and click Track. The system shows the status of your police verification request, which includes whether the FIR copy is ready or not.
- If the system shows “No record” or doesn’t recognise your details, call the helpline or visit the nearest police station.
Method 3 – Offline: visit police station or CPLC
- If online portals don’t return results, go to the police station where the FIR was filed. Bring your CNIC and the FIR number.
- Ask the station officer for a copy or status update. Only the complainant or authorised person can request this.
- Alternatively, visit the CPLC Central Reporting Cell in Karachi (phone 1102). CPLC keeps FIR records and can confirm the status.
- If you cannot travel, call Police Helpline 15 or use the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal website/app to file a query.
Troubleshooting/common issues
- Tracking number lost: Visit the police station with your CNIC to retrieve your tracking number. Only authorised individuals can request it.
- No result found: The IGP system only shows complaints filed after 25 April 2025. For older complaints, use the older portal or contact the station.
- Portal not loading: Try again during off‑peak hours or use a different browser. You can also call helpline 15 for guidance.
- Wrong CNIC or case ID: Double‑check the digits; the system won’t return data if the information doesn’t match records.
Benefits (extra uses)
- Secure tracking: The official portals prevent unauthorised access to FIR data.
- Save time: You can check status online instead of travelling to the station.
- Record verification: The Police Record Verification System also lets you apply for police character certificates or employment verifications.
- Citizen engagement: You can submit feedback through the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal and helplines.
Quick FAQs
You can’t search every FIR by CNIC; only your own complaint status is available. Use the IGP Complaint Management System or Police Record Verification portal with your CNIC and tracking number. If you need a physical copy, visit the station with your CNIC.
The same portals apply across Sindh. Karachi residents should use the IGP Complaint Management System or call Police Helpline 15. For lost or stolen property, the CPLC Central Reporting Cell can assist.
Sindh Police doesn’t publish FIRs online for public viewing. They provide complaint‑tracking and verification services through their portals and helplines.
E‑challan records can be checked through the Sindh Police traffic portal or Madadgar 15 app. This guide focuses on FIR status only; visit the traffic portal for e‑challan details.
You can apply for police verification and track your application via the Police Record Verification System.
The TRACS (Traffic Accident & Crime Scene) app is an internal tool; it’s not meant for public FIR searches. Use the official complaint portals instead.
Conclusion
Tracking your FIR in Sindh is about using the right official channels, not random online searches. Always keep your CNIC and tracking number safe, and use the IGP Complaint Management System or police record portal for updates. For detailed help, contact Police Helpline 15 or visit your police station. Need to track an FIR in another province? Read: FIR Check Punjab for more guides.
