.gog.pk Domain
Register your domain name in the .gog.pk extension for PKR 4,149 / 2 years. Reserved for registered Gilgit-Baltistan government departments — documents required.
About .gog.pk
PKNIC's restricted extension reserved for registered government departments and institutions of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Only an authorised representative of a registered Gilgit-Baltistan government department or affiliated institution can register .gog.pk — it is not available to individuals, private businesses, or bodies outside Gilgit-Baltistan's government.
Gilgit-Baltistan's registered government departments and institutions use .gog.pk for their official websites, identifying them clearly as part of the Gilgit-Baltistan government.
Registration and renewal run in the standard 2-year PKNIC increments; PKNIC requires supporting documents before approving a new registration, though renewal itself needs no fresh paperwork.
Gilgit-Baltistan, in Pakistan's mountainous north, is home to roughly a million people. .gog.pk is reserved exclusively for Gilgit-Baltistan's registered government departments, activated only once PKNIC has verified the applicant's official documents.
Who can register .gog.pk?
- Restricted to registered Gilgit-Baltistan government departments, agencies and affiliated institutions
- Not available for individuals, private companies or commercial use
- Applicant must be an authorised officer or department head of the Gilgit-Baltistan government
- Content must relate to the department's official function
- Applicant must be an authorised representative of a registered Gilgit-Baltistan government department
Documents required
PKNIC only activates .gog.pk after reviewing supporting documents. Send the following and we'll submit it on your behalf.
- Official request on the department's letterhead, signed by the director/head
- CNIC copy of the authorised director/head making the request
- Proof of the department's registration/mandate under the Gilgit-Baltistan government
Why Gilgit-Baltistan offices choose .gog.pk
A department, board or authority of the Gilgit-Baltistan government that publishes under .gog.pk is signalling clearly that its website, tender notices and public announcements come from the region's own administration — not from a tour operator, a private blog, or an unrelated site that happens to mention the region. PKNIC checks each application before it will activate a .gog.pk name, so the extension itself carries a level of trust that an open domain cannot offer.
Gilgit-Baltistan's mountainous terrain means many residents rely on the internet, rather than a nearby office, for information from departments such as tourism, forestry, health or education — a verified .gog.pk address gives them one dependable place to look, rather than several unofficial pages of varying accuracy.
Our job as your registrar is to carry the verification load: we check that your letterhead request and CNIC copy are formatted the way PKNIC expects, submit the application, and keep you updated by WhatsApp or email until the name goes live, instead of leaving you to track a ticket through PKNIC's own systems.
Not a Gilgit-Baltistan government office?
.gog.pk is reserved for Gilgit-Baltistan's own government bodies, so a federal ministry belongs under .gov.pk, and an office based in another province or territory should use its matching extension instead — .gop.pk for Punjab, .gos.pk for Sindh, .gob.pk for Balochistan, .gkp.pk for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or .gok.pk for Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
An NGO or trust running development projects in Gilgit-Baltistan should register under .org.pk instead, while a tour company, guesthouse, media outlet or individual is free to register the open .pk extension without any supporting documents.

Domain facts & transfer documentation
Transferring a .gog.pk domain to us
PKNIC is the sole registrar and sponsor for every .gog.pk name, so a transfer between service providers needs a signed authorisation letter on your current registrant's letterhead (with company stamp/seal) plus a copy of the CEO's CNIC, naming the domain and the receiving PKNIC ID. Download the template below and send it back to us to start a transfer into our account.
Owner mismatch correction
If the registrant name on file doesn't match your company letterhead or official seal, PKNIC requires a notarised affidavit (on stamp paper worth PKR 100, attested by an oath commissioner) giving your CNIC number, company name, an explanation of the mismatch, the domain name, and the receiving PKNIC account ID.
Individual owner transfer
An individual registrant moving a .gog.pk domain between providers can instead submit a notarised affidavit (stamp paper worth PKR 100, oath-commissioner attested) stating their full name, the domain name, CNIC number, residential address, and the receiving PKNIC account ID.
Frequently asked questions
Who can register .gog.pk?
Registered government departments and affiliated institutions of Gilgit-Baltistan only.
Can an individual register .gog.pk?
No — only an authorised representative applying on behalf of a registered Gilgit-Baltistan government department can.
How long is the minimum term?
.gog.pk is registered for 2 years at a time, up to 10 years, and renewed in the same increments.
How does a transfer between registrants work?
It needs a signed authorisation letter to PKNIC naming the outgoing and incoming registrant, plus the department's registration proof — we can supply the template.
Can a board or authority under the GB government register its own name?
Yes, as long as it can show its own registration or mandate as part of the Gilgit-Baltistan government — each eligible body applies with its own supporting documents.
Is there a local office we deal with, or only PKNIC in Islamabad?
PKNIC is the sole registry for every .pk extension including .gog.pk, so all verification happens through PKNIC regardless of where in Pakistan the applicant is based — we handle that submission for you remotely.
Can we use .gog.pk for email too?
Yes — once the domain is active you can point MX records at any mail provider alongside your website's A or CNAME records.
What does .gog.pk cost to register, renew or restore?
Registration is PKR 4,149 for the first 2 years, and it renews at the same rate — no separate, higher renewal price. A lapsed name can be redeemed for PKR 1,000 between the 7th and 20th day after expiry, after which it becomes available for public auction. Transfers between registrars carry no PKNIC fee.
