  4. Hi, I have lost my CNIC. is this compulsory to lodge a FIR/report or not? I heared that previous CNIc is blocked when you apply for the issuance of new CNIC
    waiting for your response.

    1. Ms.Madiha,

      No FIR is needed for issuance of duplicate/new CNIC against your lost CNIC. Previous CNIC is, however, not blocked by NADRA but from the date you apply for duplicate/new CNIC, you will not be responsible for any wrong activity done on the basis of your lost CNIC. Therefore, please apply for duplicate/new CNIC as soon as possible to avoid misuse of your lost CNIC.

  6. Hello. I had my CNIC made in January 2017. However, in December 2017, my wallet was stolen and I lost my CNIC. I issued a duplicate CNIC that same month which has a different issue date. But wherever I go, the issue date of my first CNIC is accepted and the one of the duplicate is rejected. I went to the NADRA Mega Centre and they told me that to solve this issue, I must have a new CNIC card made. If I get a new CNIC made, will it change my 13 digit CNIC number? Also is it possible for me to have a new CNIC made if my old one hasn’t expired?

    1. Mr.Ruwail Ali,

      To resolve your problem, the NADRA is suggesting you to make a new CNIC. Therefore, you can create a suitable “reason.” You can apply NADRA to convert your Normal-CNIC into Smart-NIC (SNIC). The SNIC has a chip and will be very useful in near future. The fee for normal CNIC is 400/- and the fee for SNIC is 750/-. However, NADRA has no objection if you wish to make normal CNIC. It is upto your desire and needs.

      The 13-digits of your CNIC number will remain same because these numbers are permanent. Although your CNIC has not expired, even then you can make a new card.

  9. My ID card is lost and I don’t have a photocopy of my ID card nor do I have the ID card number,I live in Germany please help me I am very worried I want to make my identity card and passport, Thank you

    1. Dear Mr.Gulfam Haider,

      ( 1 ) Please see your B-Form (CRC/ Child Registration Certificate) in which your ID Card’s number is given. Actually, the “registration number” given to every child in B-Form becomes “ID Card Number” after the CNIC is issued on completing the age of 18 years.

      ( 2 ) If B-Form is not available, please send one of your blood-relatives (father/mother/brother/sister) to NADRA Centre here in Pakistan. The relative can request NADRA Officer for your CNIC Number or CNIC’s copy. The NADRA Officer will check your record through “family history” of your blood-relative and your problem will be resolved.

      ( 3 ) If above try is failed, please contact NADRA’s Helpline : 051-111-786-100. They will properly guide you and will be telling you the easiest way, InshaAllah.

      After getting your ID Card’s number, you can apply on NADRA’s following link for duplicate/ fresh CNIC:-

    1. Dear Furqan Sahib,

      Aap kay mohtaram uncle Azeem Khan Sahib kay tamaam record (FC aur Bank waghera) may father-name RESHAM GUL ki jagah RESHAM KHAN likha hay. Shaayad Azeem Sahib kay Educational (taalimi) certificates pay bhi father name Resham Khan hi hoga. Behtar yehi hay keh Azeem Khan Sahib kay record ko touch naa kiya jae. Agar Khuda-na-khwaasta kabhi koi problem Azeem Sahib ko aati hay tau inkay father ka aur inkay tamaam brothers aur sisters ka CNIC saboot kay taur pay mojood hay jis may address yaa doosri cheezain (family No.waghera) same (yaksaan) hongi.

      Agar ho sakay tau Azeem Sahib NADRA kay number 8009 pay apna CNIC number (without dash) aur CNIC ki Issue Date (Tareekh-e-Ijra) ko send karain. Inko 8009 say NADRA ki taraf say family kay tamaam members yaani father, mother, brothers & sisters ki list mil jaegi. Matlab yeh hay keh Azeem Sahib apnay record ko isi tarah chalnay dain, InshaAllah koi problem nahi hogi.

  27. 3 din main ielts ka paper and I lost my id card fee bhe submit hogae a! executive duplicate copy 2,3 din main mil sakti??

    1. Ms.Rubab,

      CNIC’s fee structure is as per following detail:-

      Normal Fee: PKR 400 (delivery of CNIC within 30 days)
      Urgent Fee: PKR 1150 (delivery of CNIC within 15 days)
      Executive Fee: PKR 2150 (delivery of CNIC within 07 days)

      The IELTS test is going to be held after three days. Although time is short, but it will be much better if you personally visit the Testing Centre (perhaps British Council, etc.! ). Talk to any concerned officer/department and tell them that you will show them original CNIC whenever you receive it.

      Meanwhile, you may submit to the Testing Centre your lost CNIC’s photocopy together with your B-Form’s photocopy (if B-Form is available, otherwise not necessary). Also submit to the Centre the copy of “receipt” which you will receive after applying to NADRA for Duplicate CNIC. You can apply to NADRA against the Normal fee of Rs.400 (card will be received in 30 days). Please see our above suggestions and you will find better and comfortable solution.

      2) Gum honay walay CNIC ko qenchi (scissor) say tukray tukray kar kay phenk dain

      Pichlay CNIC ko tukray kar kay phenknay say aap ko yeh tasalli ho jaegi keh ab puranay CNIC ko koi ghalat istemaal nahi kar sakega. Signature change honay wala aap ka latest new CNIC aap kay liay best hay.

  37. Sir i have lost my id card i want to apply for duplicate ..but now i want to apply for smart card and change my father name to husband name…also is it possible to attach my husband name with my name ???plz guaid me

    1. Ms.Haya Khan,

      There is no need of FIR for your lost CNIC. You can apply for smart card (SNIC) and replace father’s name with your husband’s name.

      It is possible to attach your husband’s name with your name. Then, your name (attached with husband’s name) will be different from your name on your educational certificates, etc. If you will visit abroad for any personal need or any job, sometimes there may be some problems because of difference in your name. However, you can decide more better that which thing is in your interest.

      For all the above purposes, please visit nearest NADRA Centre with your husband having the following documents:-
      (1) Your CNIC’s photocopy or its number
      (2) Your husband’s original CNIC
      (3) Original and photocopy of Urdu Nikahnama
      (4) NADRA’s Marriage Registration Certificate (if available)

      If NADRA will need any other document, they will tell you and you will get a new SNIC soon.

    bro few days before I lost my cnic and today I applied for new cnic..nadra did not ask me for FIR etc 2,3 times I asked from them about FIR but they say no need of FIR …now what i do about my old cnic?it will be blocked or?there is any chances of misused?

    1. Dear Mr.Amir,

      It is good that now the NADRA is not demanding FIR for the lost CNIC. Your new CNIC will have a new “Date of Issue.” From this new Date of Issue, your previous CNIC will have no value and if anybody misuses your previous CNIC, you can easily challenge it. Let we hope that nothing will happen wrong with your previous CNIC, InshaAllah.

  65. AOA,
    i lost my NIC a day before yesterday ,
    i visited nadra today for duplicate (Reprint) CNIC , they did not required any FIR but they said your old card cannot be reprinted , it ll be issued as a new (taking fresh pictures and fingerprints) , I don’t want to take new card but to reprint my old card and i am uncomfortable making new one as old one was having validity till 2027 also.
    the person there also does not seem very professional,
    please if there is any way i can get it reprint .please let me know. or i should visit another branch ? How do you say please. .

    1. Dear Mr.Khawar,

      W.A.S.
      Generally NADRA requires FIR for issuance of duplicate CNIC. If you think the staff who attended you was not professionally competitive, please try any other centre of NADRA.

      Actually, institutions like NADRA improve themselves day by day. If they have changed their policy for issuance of Duplicate (Reprint) CNIC, we have to follow it. Perhaps, it is in your own interest because you will have latest “Date of Issue” on your new CNIC. Also, please don’t be uncomfortable about validity which is upto 2027. Your new CNIC’s validity will definitely be upto 2027 or 2028. In case you are issued a new and fresh CNIC, no fraud or illegal activity will be possible by any wrong person.

      In view of above arguments, we hope you will have a good decision about this issue.

      With best regards,

    2. DEAR SIR

      I MOVED FROM KARACHI TO LAHORE AND DURING THAT I LOST MY CNIC SO CAN I APPLY DUPLICTE CNIC VIA LAHORE MEGA CENTER ? OR ONLY IN KARACHI HAVE TO APLY ? WHAT DOCUMENTS REQUIRE ? & DO I HAVE TO COLLECT CNIC BY HAND MY SELF FROM MEGA CENTER OR THEY WILL DELIVER ? AS AM IN LAHORE LIVING NOW PLS GUIDE ME ASAP WITH THANKS

      1. Dear Mr.Omair,

        As you know, NADRA data is online and centralised all over the country. Please lodge FIR in Lahore for the lost CNIC and submit FIR’s photocopy at nearest NADRA Centre. They will issue you either the Duplicate or a new CNIC.

        You will have to collect newly issued CNIC from NADRA Centre. However, they will inform you by SMS whenever the CNIC becomes ready. You don’t have to visit Karachi in any case.

        Best regards.

  67. Hi
    Is it necessary to have Fir copy for applying a duplicate cnic?

    Waiting for your kind response.
    Regards

    1. Ms.Fatima,

      It is the requirement of NADRA to submit photocopy of FIR for issuance of Duplicate (Reprint) CNIC. If you feel uncomfortable about FIR, you may please contact NADRA for issuance of Duplicate CNIC. They will help you if they have some other ways for Duplicate.

      Otherwise, if NADRA insists for FIR, there is no problem for you to get registered FIR. Please go, with your father, brother or any close-relative, to Police Station nearest to your previous residence. After completing NADRA’s requirement, you will get very soon the Duplicate CNIC.

      Regards.

    1. Walaykum Assalam.
      You can apply for a Duplicate CNIC at any nearest Centre of NADRA. It is not necessary to go the same NADRA Centre where your lost CNIC was made. Please visit NADRA Centre with following documents:-

      1) Photocopy or the Number of your lost CNIC
      2) Original FIR and its photocopy

      NADRA will issue a Duplicate CNIC to you. The CNIC will be ready within 30 days.

      1. So I lost my CNIC, I do have the FIR but I don’t have a copy of my CNIC (I do have pictures of it on my phone).
        And also I called the Nadra helpline today and they told me that I would have to bring a blood relative along with me to get a new CNIC but the representative seemed unsure to be honest, could you please confirm?
        Thank you!

        1. Dear Mr.Bilal Shahid,

          Your case is simple and please do not worry. Forget the representative of NADRA who talked to you on helpline. You must go directly to any NADRA Centre with your original FIR and its photocopy. Also take with you the mobile phone. Show the FIR to them and also show the photo of your CNIC in the mobile. They will take your CNIC Number from the photo.

          It is possible that they will make your fresh CNIC. If NADRA officer demands you to bring any blood-relative, then please bring with you father, mother, brother, sister or any other blood-relative. Mostly chances are that they will not ask any blood-relative.

          Best regards.

  69. I am separated from my husband, and we are not in contact with each other, and he has my new CNIC, and I don’t have any copy of it, even I don’t know my CNIC number, so my question is, how can I get my CNIC or a duplicate copy of it from Nadra centre? What is the procedure for it?

    1. Ms.Kiran,

      CNIC number of a person always remains the same. There may be many ways to find your CNIC number. However, please note the following points for this purpose:-

      1) If you have your old or previous CNIC or its photocopy, you can get your CNIC number.
      2) Please see your Urdu Nikahnama or NADRA’s Marriage Registration Certificate (Nikahnama in English).
      3) With your father / mother / any sibling or any blood-relative, you can go NADRA and request them to tell your CNIC number, so that you could lodge an FIR for your lost CNIC.

      NADRA Office tells you CNIC number or not, you just lodge an FIR for your lost CNIC. Show this FIR to NADRA Office and also give them its photocopy. InshaAllah they will issue a Duplicate CNIC to you.

      Wishing you all the best,

      There may be following ways to search your Aunt’s CNIC number:-

      1) If aunt has B-Form of her children, find her CNIC No. in B-Form.
      2) If aunt has her passport, she can find CNIC No. on it.
      3) If aunt has any property in her name, CNIC No. is in prop.documents.
      4) Aunt’s any blood-relative or husband can go NADRA Centre and request them to trace out Aunt’s CNIC number through the “home address” given on Aunt’s CNIC, or date of birth or husband’s name on Aunt’s CNIC.

    2. My uncle lost his id card and he lives in Greece. How can he apply his new id card or reprint.

      Please give me all information.

      Thank you

      1. Dear Sir,

        In some cases, NADRA has online system for overseas Pakistanis through the following link:-
        https://id.nadra.gov.pk/

        But, it would be reasonable if you please contact any NADRA Centre, as the representative of Uncle, and request them for issuance of Duplicate CNIC against Uncle’s lost CNIC. Possibly they may ask an FIR for the lost CNIC. NADRA has a vast data system and will provide you to the point guidance.

  73. I have lost my cnic what will be the status of my lost cnic if I make duplicate cnic??
    can anybody miss misuse it?
    can anybody misuse it??

    1. Dear Mr.Shah,

      Your lost CNIC can be misused, but chances of misuse are very low, because now-a-days “fingerprints” are mostly required and therefore misuse of CNIC becomes very difficult. After the Issue Date of your Duplicate CNIC, you are not responsible for any transaction of old (lost) CNIC.
