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.

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.
