To apply for a new CNIC you need to visit your nearest NADRA Registration Centre with your original birth certificate or B-Form, a parent or guardian CNIC, and two passport-sized photographs. You can also book an appointment online through the Pak Identity app to avoid long queues.
How do I register my child with NADRA?
You can register your child with NADRA by applying for a B-Form or Child Registration Certificate. You will need both parents CNICs, the child’s hospital birth certificate, and the nikah nama. The process can be done at any NADRA office or through the Pak Identity app.
Can I track my CNIC application status online?
