.pro domain registration in Pakistan

.pro is a generic extension that began in 2004 as a credential-checked domain for licensed professionals. Since 16 November 2015 it has been open to anyone, so a Pakistani freelancer, consultant or small firm can register one in their own name. Here is what the name means, how the rules work, and when it makes sense next to .pk or .com.

Identity Digital Limited (listed by IANA as manager of .pro; the ICANN registry agreement names Identity Digital Domains Limited; the registry was run by Afilias before Identity Digital) · minimum term 1 year · updated 2026-10-25

Search any name on the availability checker, or go straight to the order form. We confirm availability before registering, you pay in rupees by bank transfer, Raast, JazzCash or Easypaisa, and the domain is registered in your own name.

Who uses .pro

  • Freelancers and consultants who want their trade in the web address
  • Doctors, lawyers, accountants and architects who want a personal practice site
  • Designers, developers and writers building a portfolio
  • Small agencies and one-person studios that find their .com name taken
  • Trainers, coaches and tutors who sell their own expertise

Pick .pro when the work is you. A consultant, designer, doctor, lawyer or trainer can put the profession right in the address, and the name reads clearly to clients abroad. It also helps when yourname.com is already taken. Choose .pk or .com.pk when your customers are mainly in Pakistan and want a local, familiar address. Choose .com when you sell to a global audience and want the extension people type without thinking. You can also hold two: .pro as your main profile and .com or .pk as a redirect. For .pro we quote our price on the price list or on WhatsApp. Compare with the .pk page and the .com page before you decide.

Eligibility and rules

Who may register: Open to anyone. The original rule that registrants prove a professional licence ended on 16 November 2015, and registrar notices now describe .pro as an unrestricted extension with no special registration requirements. You do not need to hold a licence, and nothing we found limits it by country, so a Pakistan-based owner can register in their own name.

  • Anyone can register a .pro name. No licence, degree or proof of profession is asked for since November 2015.
  • Terms of 1 to 10 years are the usual range for generic extensions. We confirm the exact term offered when you order.
  • No country or residency limit appears in the registrar notices we checked, so a Pakistan-based owner can be the registrant.
  • Names are registered directly at the second level, such as yourname.pro. The old profession-based addresses like name.law.pro belonged to the licensed era; the registrar notices we checked do not offer them.
  • Standard domain rules apply: letters, numbers and hyphens, with a hyphen not at the start or end.
  • Non-Latin (IDN) names are not supported for .pro, according to registrar notices, so Urdu-script names are not an option here.
  • The extension is signed with DNSSEC at the root, which helps protect lookups when your DNS host supports it. Some names may be priced as premium; we confirm this before you pay.

Questions about .pro

What does a .pro domain mean?

Pro stands for professional. It launched in 2004 for licensed professionals such as lawyers, doctors, accountants and engineers. Today anyone can use it for a personal, freelance or business site that signals expertise.

It works well for personal brands, portfolios and service businesses. It is less familiar to casual visitors than .com or .pk, so many owners also keep a second name that redirects. The extension itself does not raise or lower your search ranking.

No. The credential check ended on 16 November 2015, and registration is open to everyone, including people in Pakistan.
