fuelpass.gov.lk - fuelpass QR Code (fuelpass gov lk)

FuelPass.gov.lk was Sri Lanka's National Fuel Pass — a QR-code system introduced during the 2022 fuel crisis to ration fuel fairly when supplies ran critically short. Vehicle owners registered online, received a QR code with a weekly fuel quota, and showed it at filling stations to buy fuel. Here's what it was, how it worked, and where things stand now.

Why it existed

In mid-2022, Sri Lanka's economic crisis left fuel in severe shortage — kilometre-long queues, stations running dry, and a black market thriving. The government (with ICTA) launched the National Fuel Pass to replace chaos with order: every registered vehicle got a guaranteed weekly quota, scannable at the pump.

How the QR system worked

1. Register on fuelpass.gov.lk with your NIC number, mobile number, and vehicle registration details.
2. Receive your QR code — issued per vehicle, encoding your weekly fuel quota.
3. Show it at the pump — stations scanned the code and dispensed up to your quota.

Quotas differed by vehicle type (bikes, three-wheelers, cars, buses got different allocations). The full process: how FuelPass QR registration worked. Our portal page links to the official site.

Is it still active?

Fuel Pass was a crisis measure. As fuel supplies normalized, the rationing need faded — but government systems like this sometimes persist in reduced form or get revived. We don't state a live status here because it changes; check fuelpass.gov.lk or current Ministry of Power and Energy announcements. More: is Fuel Pass still active?

Lessons from the system

Whatever its current status, Fuel Pass proved a point: a simple QR + quota system can kill queues and black markets in weeks. It's now a case study in crisis-time digital governance — and a template other countries have studied.

Watch out

Only fuelpass.gov.lk was ever official. Lookalike sites offering "fuel pass registration" for a fee were scams during the crisis — the real registration was free.
