  3. hello, PakGuide.
    i have problem regarding my CNIC, my surname is missing from the CNIC and i also wanted to change my signature, however it been 2/3 years for holding this CNIC card and working with it, which caused misplaced surname on passport too how can i resolve that.

    Thank you

    1. Hi,

      You can apply both for adding your surname on your CNIC and the change of your signature. You may please also keep in mind that the addition of your surname in CNIC will make difference with the name on your educational certificates. However, after adding the surname on CNIC, you can have your name on passport together with surname.

  4. hi
    I have a little problem regarding my expired CNIC. I’ve been in China since past 7 years and last time I visited Pakistan was in 2017. my cnic card has expired for over a year due to which my application on NADRA’s online portal is not proceeding forward. please tell me my options to get my card renewed as i might be needing it soon for completing my UK immigration paperwork. can my mom or dad file an application on my behalf in Pakistan and get it done from nearby NADRA office or I have to be physically present

    2. Dear Mr.Aneeq,

      Normally, those people who live abroad have the NICOP instead of CNIC. However, when CNIC is expired, and you are abroad, the card has to be renewed online within one year’s time. Although, on every renewal, the NADRA takes your fresh photograph and fingerprints, but in your situation your mom or dad can apply in the country on your behalf.

      Whenever needed, NADRA make amendments in their rules. Therefore, if you want to know the latest position of their online process about CNIC (or even NICOP), please contact NADRA’s helpline : 051-111-786-100. In case you find no reply upto your satisfaction, you can lodge your complaint on the link : https://complaints.nadra.gov.pk/ relating to NADRA. We think, for CNIC renewal, your physical presence will not be required in Pakistan at any stage.

    Dear sir,
    My name is Hassan Bashar. I want to ask that My wife name is single and there is no Surname in her academic record, CNIC and Passport. I want to add my name with her name. So what is the precedure fot that? please guide me in details. Thank you

    1. Dear Mr.Hassan Bashar,

      W.Salam … You can add your name with the name of your wife on her CNIC. Please visit NADRA Centre with the following documents:-

      2) Your wife’s original CNIC
      3) Nikah-nama in Urdu with photocopy

  24. Here you suggested to many that no blood relative needs to accompany for renewal of id card but I visited today alone n they asked me to bring blood relative to renew my id card.

    1. Ms.Asma,

      Normally, if we want to renew our NORMAL-CNIC, the NADRA will not demand for any blood-relative. But, if we want renewal of our Normal CNIC and also we want to convert this “Normal” CNIC into “Smart” CNIC (which has SIM in it), NADRA will ask for a blood-relative. The NADRA will also take finger-prints of blood-relative.

      Further, sometimes NADRA Officer is not fully satisfied with our data. Or, there may be many reasons due to which NADRA demands a blood-relative to come. In fact, normally we do not need any relative for renewal of CNIC.

  26. As Salam alaikum! thank you for this informative platform. My cnic will expire in July, so I am trying to get it renewed right now only, however, in online form, i do not know how to update my new address info. I live in DHA (Karachi) now, but it is not showing DHA Karachi anywhere. Please guide, I have searched “Karachi South” multiple times, but couldn’t find DHA.

    1. Ms.Sidra,

      W.Salam. Please search DHA-Karachi into Karachi Cantonment areas. DHA may not be falling into Karachi-South. Actually, ambiguity of areas falling into different Districts makes it difficult to search our area of residence.

      If your problem is not being resolved, please contact NADRA’s Help Line: 051-111-786-100. Even then, if there is no result, please lodge your complaint on NADRA’s link: https://complaints.nadra.gov.pk/.

      In case, you are presently in the country, please avoid this confusion and visit personally your nearest NADRA Centre with your original CNIC. You will get very easily renewed your CNIC with new address.

  29. Sir,
    I need to know that my CNIC card is expired . Should I need to renew my card before getting nikkah-fied or I can attach my expired copy of cnic and then after nikkah I can request to issue new card ? Kindly let me know.

    1. Ms.Farhat,

      Af far as we know, on nikkah ceremony, the Nikkah-khwan maulvi sahib will accept your CNIC’s expired copy to attach with nikkah-nama record. However, a second-opinion may please be taken from groom’s nikkah-khwan. After nikkah, you can get renewed your CNIC with husband’s name and his address.

      On the other hand, you can get renewed CNIC before nikkah by paying an urgent fee. Following is a detail of renewal fees:-
      Normal Fee: Rs.400 (receive card within 30 days)
      Urgent Fee: Rs.1150 (receive card within 15 days)
      Executive Fee: Rs.2150 (receive card within 7 days)

      In light of above detail, you can decide what you feel more comfortable.

          Online agar mushkil lagay tau phir KPK main NADRA Centre jaen. Ziada imkaan yehi hay keh woh renew kar daingay isliay keh aap ka KPK ka address bhi mojood hoga.

      1) Your wife’s original CNIC
      2) Original CNIC of your wife’s father & photocopy
      2) Your original CNIC and photocopy
      3) Your wife’s original Birth Certificate & photocopy
