Pakistan’s National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) has announced a major improvement in the process of obtaining a national identity card (CNIC). Starting from April 2024, people who apply for an urgent CNIC can now receive their new card within just 15 days. This is a significant reduction from the previous processing time of 23 days.
NADRA shared the news through its social media channels, demonstrating its commitment to providing fast and accessible services to Pakistani citizens. This new timeline for urgent CNIC applications helps people get their ID cards much quicker, allowing them to take care of important matters without long delays.
The National Identity Card (NIC) is a vital document for Pakistani citizens. It serves as the primary form of identification required for various tasks such as acquiring licenses, opening bank accounts, applying for passports, and even getting mobile phone connections. The NIC plays a crucial role in allowing people to fully participate in different aspects of public life.
Individuals who choose the urgent category for their smart ID card applications can receive their new CNIC within 15 days for a fee of Rs 1500. This expedited service is both affordable and efficient, making it accessible to many people.
NADRA’s efforts to streamline the CNIC issuance process reflect its dedication to improving public service delivery. By making it easier and faster for citizens to obtain essential identification, NADRA is helping people navigate daily life and access various socio-economic opportunities. This initiative marks a positive step forward in supporting the needs of Pakistani citizens.
