Every Pakistani who is above 18 must have a CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card). The reason to have a CNIC is that it proves a person’s authenticity. People who don’t have an ID card cant have the basic facilities in the country, can’t open a bank account, can’t purchase any land or car in the country, can’t get a passport or a driving license. So, if anyone wants to get a Pakistani ID card, he must apply at the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) office which deals with the Identity Documents of respected citizPakistani citizens. These documents include National Identity Cards, CNIC for overseas Pakistanis, Pakistan Origin Card, Birth Certificates, Family Certificates, Domicile, Passport Documents and Cancellation Certificates.
In the past few years, the Pakistani government has been working very hard to make the authority even more efficient and reliable for the citizens so that they don’t have to wait for long hours and can have their job done as soon as possible. For this, the authority has also launched its online portal which facilitates millions of citizens every day. So, if you already have a CNIC and wondering how you can check your CNIC details?
