Applying for a New Smart ID Card:
There are two primary ways to apply for a new Smart National Identity Card:
- Visiting a NADRA Registration Center (NRC): This is the traditional method, where you visit your nearest NRC in person, complete the application process, and have your biometrics captured.
- Applying Online via Pak Identity Website (Smart NIC Only): For existing CNIC holders, an online option exists for applying for a Smart NIC. You can visit the Pak Identity website (https://id.nadra.gov.pk/e-id/authenticate.PAK), apply online, and have the card delivered to your registered address. However, this method is currently unavailable for applying for a new CNIC (fresh application).
Additional Considerations:
- While applying for a new CNIC requires a physical visit to an NRC, existing CNIC holders can leverage the online application process for a Smart NIC upgrade.
- Ensure you have all the necessary documentation ready before applying for your CNIC or Smart ID Card. Requirements may vary, so check with NADRA for current guidelines.
- Fees are subject to change. We recommend verifying the latest fee structure on the official NADRA website (https://www.nadra.gov.pk/fee-structure/) before applying.
Staying Updated:
NADRA regularly updates its policies and procedures. Keep yourself informed by visiting the NADRA website (https://www.nadra.gov.pk/fee-structure/) or contacting your nearest NADRA Registration Center for the most current information on CNIC types, fees, and application processes.
