ISLAMABAD – The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has announced a special initiative for individuals who have lost their chip-less Computrised National Identity Cards (CNIC) or possess expired ones.
According to a public notice, citizens whose chip-less CNICs have either expired or been misplaced can now apply for renewal for an ID card with additional features at a discounted fee.
This limited-time offer aims to assist citizens in upgrading to modern identity cards that offer enhanced security and data features. NADRA urges the public to take advantage of this opportunity and visit their nearest NADRA center at the earliest.
Fee for Upgraded ID Card
NADRA has made it easier for citizens to renew CNICs, which carries additional features. Citizens can now choose from three service tiers based on urgency:
Normal Service: Rs400 – Processing time: 15 working days
Urgent Service: Rs1,150 – Processing time: 12 working days
Executive Service: Rs2,150 – Processing time: 6 working days
This applies to all CNIC-related requests, including expired chip-less cards, lost ID cards, and updates in personal details.
NADRA encourages citizens to take advantage of these options.
