Why You Need a Valid NIC

As of December 2023, having a valid NIC has become even more critical. Your unique 13-digit identification number serves as a key to access a wide range of official documents, including:

• Driving Licenses
• National Tax Numbers (NTNs)
• Bank Accounts
• Passports
• Mobile Phone Connections

Simply put, if you’re 18 years old or above and a Pakistani citizen, a valid NIC is mandatory.

Beyond the Basics: Additional Information
