PNMC tracking: choose the right official tool
Searches for PNMC online tracking or PNC verification can mean two different tasks. Choose the link that matches your question:
- Check a nurse or RN registration: Track Nursing Professionals searches the professional register using the nurse’s NIC or passport number. This is the nurse lookup for families checking credentials.
- Track a submitted registration or renewal application: Check Application Status accepts a CNIC or complete reference/token number. An application-status result is not a substitute for checking the professional register.
- Start registration, renewal or another online request: use the official PNMC online portal and its current instructions.
Nurse at Home is an independent website, not the PNMC official website. Enter identity numbers only on the official PNMC page; this guide does not collect them or issue registration certificates.
What the PNMC register is
The PNMC is the national regulator for nursing and midwifery. Its online register lists who is registered as a nurse, a Lady Health Visitor (LHV), a midwife, a community midwife or a nursing auxiliary (CNA). These are different categories with different training, so the category matters as much as the registration itself.
How to check a nurse yourself
- Ask the nurse to help you verify their registration using the NIC or passport number they registered with. You can check the official page together without sending identity documents through this website.
- Open the PNMC’s public lookup, Track Nursing Professionals, on the PNMC online portal.
- Enter the NIC or passport number requested by the official page and search.
- Compare the displayed name and professional category with the nurse and their registration documents. Check any licence-validity information shown; if it is missing or unclear, ask the nurse or PNMC to clarify it before relying on the record.
If you cannot verify the registration, the register shows no match, or the name or category is different, pause the visit and ask the nurse, provider or PNMC to clarify the record. Do not rely on a screenshot or an application-status result alone.
What a registration does not tell you
A matching registration record is one part of checking credentials. It does not by itself establish current licence validity when that information is absent, recent experience with a particular procedure, or suitability for an individual patient. Ask about relevant training and experience, and use the treating team’s care plan to clarify the support needed.
How Nurse at Home is designed to check nurses
Nurse at Home is preparing to launch. Its verification rules require the following checks before a nurse can offer services through the app:
- Nurse at Home looks up each nurse on the official PNMC online register and compares the registration number, name, category and licence expiry. Only Registered Nurses can offer services.
- A person on the Nurse at Home team reviews the nurse’s CNIC photos and a short face-check video, and one CNIC can hold only one account.
- To take new visits, a nurse’s register check must be less than 30 days old and the licence current. If it expires, the nurse’s services are paused until a renewed licence is verified.
- Nurses who offer procedures such as injections, IV cannula care, catheters or tracheostomy care must also have an approved training or competency record for each one.
- At the door, you check the nurse against their profile photo and name before giving the arrival code.
