Livestock Card Phase 2 Registration 2026: Step by Step Method

Phase 2 of the Livestock Card is here in 2026, and thousands of new farmers are being registered across Punjab. If you missed Phase 1 — or were rejected — this step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to register in Phase 2, from the first SMS to card activation.

Who Can Register in Phase 2

Phase 2 is open to:

• Punjab residents: Domicile of any Punjab district
• Livestock owners: Farmers who own cattle, buffalo, sheep or goats
• CNIC holders: Valid Computerized National Identity Card
• New and rejected farmers: Phase 1 rejected applicants can reapply

Special quotas exist for women farmers — apply early.

Method 1: SMS Registration

The quickest method — no internet needed:

• Type your CNIC: 13 digits, no dashes or spaces
• Send to 8070: Text the CNIC to 8070
• Save the reply: Note your registration number from the confirmation SMS
• Wait for verification: The department calls to verify your details

See all codes in our 8070 SMS codes guide.

Method 2: Online Registration

Prefer a form you can review? Register on the portal:

• Open the portal: Go to plc.punjab.gov.pk in your browser

Method 3: In-Person Registration

No phone or internet? Visit in person:

• Veterinary hospital: Your nearest government vet hospital
• Union council office: Registration desks during announced days
• District livestock office: The main office in your district

Carry your original CNIC — staff fill the form with you.

Verification Step

After registering, the department verifies you:

• Phone call: A livestock officer calls to confirm your details
• Farm visit: Sometimes a physical check of your animals
• Documents: CNIC and land/livestock proof checked

Keep your phone on — a missed verification call can delay approval.

Card Collection Step

Approved? Collect your card:

• SMS notification: You get an SMS when your card is ready
• Visit the bank: Go to your assigned Bank of Punjab branch
• Bring CNIC: Original CNIC plus the approval SMS
• Activate: Set your PIN at the branch counter
