Sir, I have lost my CNIC. if I apply in NADRA office physically for renew of CNIC other than duplicate due to wanna some changes i.e. picture,than the 16 or 17 grade officer attestaion is required or not ??Please reply
Ms.Madiha,
Please visit your nearest NADRA Centre and tell them that you have lost your original CNIC. Also tell them that you want your fresh photo on the CNIC. They will issue a fresh and renewed CNIC (not duplicate) to you with your fresh photo. If you also wish some other changes, you can inform them and they will cooperate with you. In your case, no attestation of 16 or 17 grade officer is needed.
However, if you want to convert your normal CNIC into Smart NIC (SNIC), then you will need this attestation. If you will take a blood-relative with you to NADRA Centre, then attestation of government officer is not needed for SNIC.

its to inform that I visited NADRA office today but they said for any modification in SNIC, officer 17 attestaion is required if you not come with any blood relative.
Ms.Madiha,
In our reply sent to you at 4.06 pm today, we have mentioned the same thing which you are telling now. Therefore, please arrange attestation of govt. officer or visit NADRA Office with any blood-relative. Your case is very simple and you will get new SNIC very soon, InshaAllah.
Regards,
PakGuide
yes, but I had already SNIC which was lost. So I don’t convert CNIC to SNIC.
Ms.Madiha,
If you already have SNIC, then please cooperate with NADRA, because for fresh/duplicate SNIC it is must to get govt. officer’s attestation or to bring any blood relative.
Thanks & regards,

Assalam o Alaikum.
sir I applied Online for CNIC modification 15days before but when I check status it shows 23 working days remaining ..and how do I know my application is approved or not I didn’t get any msg or email..
Dear Mr.Kashif,
W.Salam … Normally it takes 30 days for completion of modification process. But, due to some internal issues, they can gain some extra time. However, if you wish to know the actual reasons/status please contact on NADRA’s helpline : 051-111-786-100. They will surely explain properly.
Despite the above helpline contact, if you face any problem, you can also complain on their link : https://complaints.nadra.gov.pk/ for solution of your problem.

Sir i lost my nic and my father is in islamabad tou kya mai unky NIC ki photo copy lay ja k banwa skti hun?
Ms.Mahnoor,
Father ya kisi bhi blood-relative ko saath lejanay ki zaroorat uss waqt hoti hay jab aap ko apnay normal CNIC ko Smart NIC (SNIC) may tabdeel karwana ho. Apnay lost CNIC ka duplicate/ fresh CNIC banwanay kay liay sirf apna CNIC Number ya iski photocopy NADRA Centre lay jaen. Aap ko police FIR ki bhi zaroorat nahi paregi.

Sir mery family ke id ka adress kpk ka hai meiny apny choty bhai ka domicel karachi ka bnwana hai to iska koe tariky kar btay
Dear Mr.Ameer Khan,
Aap ki family ka mustaqil (permanent) address yaqeenan KPK ka hoga aur mojooda (present) address Karachi ka hoga. Jis city ka Domicile banwana ho wahaan pay aap ki rehaaish kam az kam one year honi chahiyay. Karachi ka domicile banwanay kay liay aap ko Commissioner Office jana hoga. Commissioner Office yaa City Court kay baahir application fill karnay kay liay bohot say log hotay hain. Kisi bhi shop (vendor) say aap ko mukammal maloomaat mil jaengi. Zaroori kaar-rawai (procedure) kay baad aap kay brother ka Commissioner Office say Domicile ban jaega, InshaAllah.
