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
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.
Regards.

Aoa, I have applied for NICOP. But the thing is my name in urdu spells wrong as it was automatically written there when I put my English name. How can I change my urdu spells on card? It’s just the matter of one haroof that is ہ my name starts with this ہ but due to automatically digital system my name was written with this ح is there any possibility so I can change my urdu harf? Kindly guide me.
Dear Mr.Huzaira,
W.Salam.
During the use of online application, there should be our choice to write our own name in Urdu with the spelling we desire, as we are allowed to write our name in English. Problem arises when our name in Urdu appears automatically.
However, this problem can only be solved by NADRA people, because they are handling this system. Please contact them on NADRA’s Helpline 051-111-786-100 . If problem is not solved, NADRA’s link https://complaints.nadra.gov.pk/ will definitely help you and they will give attention to your complaint, InshaAllah.

Hello sir, I applied for a duplicate CNIC as a lost my CNIC. After taking fresh photographs, Fingerprint, Data entry and payment method they gave me a receipt/token and a attestation form,
I referred to another counter along with attestation form and they asked some Questions/Interrogation over there.
He referred me to another and my attestation form has deposited over there for scanning.
Now pls tell me Do i need to collect again that form after scanning for the attestation/Blood relation biomatric process or they skipped this step in the favour of my case. Thanks

It is possible that they have skipped some steps. After asking some questions/ interrogation from you, if NADRA’s staff is satisfied and thinks your form fulfils their requirements, they will issue a duplicate/new CNIC to you.

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.

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. .
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.

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.

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!
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.

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,

1) Your original CNIC
2) Photocopy of your wife’s CNIC
3) Original and photocopy of FIR
NADRA will issue your wife a DUPLICATE CNIC.

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??
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.

Sir my mother apply two time’s for C.N.I.C but it was not came .we ask on counter but they said we don’t have card . So plz guide me what should we do now .
Dear Mr.Adnan,
Jab aap nay NADRA ko apply kiya tha tau NADRA nay aapko receipt di hogi. Iss receipt pay “Tracking ID” bhi diya hota hay. Iss Tracking ID number ko mobile kay zaryay 8400 pay send karain. NADRA say aapko SMS aega jis main aapkay CNIC ki tafseel hogi keh CNIC iss waqt kahan hay. Normal CNIC 30 din kay baad milta hay. Kabhi kabhi late bhi hosakta hay. Aap pareshan na hon.
Thanks & regards,
