FBR invoice verification — IRN, USIN & QR
Searches for FBR invoice verification usually mean checking whether a sales tax invoice was actually registered with FBR. A compliant FBR digital invoice carries an IRN, USIN, and QR code after PRAL accepts the submit — not just a company logo on a Word template.
What verification data looks like on a PDF
After submit, buyers scan the QR or use FBR/IRIS lookup with the IRN.
Two different “checks” teams confuse
- Validate before submit — your software checks FBR scenario rules so PRAL is less likely to reject the payload.
- Verify after submit — buyers or auditors confirm the IRN/QR on the invoice matches FBR’s registry (true FBR invoice verification).

FBR invoice verification FAQ
What is FBR invoice verification?
FBR invoice verification confirms that a sales tax invoice was registered with FBR and accepted through digital invoicing. A genuine FBR e-invoice includes an Invoice Registration Number (IRN), USIN, and QR code returned when PRAL accepts the submission.
How do buyers verify an FBR digital invoice?
Scan the QR code on the invoice PDF or use the verification tools FBR publishes for digital invoices (including IRIS lookup where available). The IRN and USIN tie the document to FBR’s registry.
Can I verify an invoice before it is submitted to FBR?
Validation in your software checks FBR field rules before submit — that is pre-submission validation, not public verification. Only after FBR accepts the invoice do you receive IRN, USIN, and QR for buyer verification.
Does GetFBR include IRN and QR on PDFs for verification?
Yes. After a successful submit, branded PDFs include FBR verification data (IRN, USIN, and QR) so buyers and auditors can confirm the invoice was reported to FBR.
Is FBR invoice verification the same as IRIS login?
No. IRIS login (iris.fbr.gov.pk) is for taxpayers to manage registration and tokens. Invoice verification is how third parties confirm a specific invoice’s IRN/QR against FBR’s digital invoicing records.
