Upon deletion of such applications/PSID, the user can re-apply to generate fresh PSID for device registration.

According to PTA’s Device Identification Registration Blocking System (DIRBS) regulations all mobile devices connected to local networks using a local SIM are subject to registration within 60 days from the first use of the device on local mobile networks in Pakistan.

PTA has provided three mechanisms for registration of mobile devices; through the website (dirbs.pta.gov.pk/drs), by dialing *8484# or visiting mobile operators’ franchises/service centers across Pakistan.
