Service Overview

What Modification Covers

CNIC modification is the official way to correct or update the details printed on your card so they match your true records. Because the printed information changes, NADRA issues a brand-new Smart NIC with the corrected data.

Common Reasons to Modify

  • Correcting a spelling mistake in your name
  • Updating father’s or spouse’s name
  • Changing your address after moving
  • Updating marital status after marriage, divorce or bereavement
  • Fixing an incorrect date of birth

Good to Know

  • Major changes (name, parentage) need an attested affidavit and verification.
  • Keeping your CNIC accurate prevents problems with passports, banks and inheritance.
  • A new card is printed, so standard printing fees apply.

What this means for you

CNIC modification is for changing details already on your card — such as address, marital status, or a corrected entry — rather than simply renewing. Because your CNIC feeds into banking, voting and other records, keeping it accurate matters. Each change usually needs a supporting document that proves the new information.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Trying to “modify” when you actually just need a renewal, or vice versa.
  • Applying without the document that proves the change (e.g. Nikah Nama for marital status).
  • Details not matching your family record, which delays approval.

How to verify you are on the official channel

Use only NADRA — the PakID app, id.nadra.gov.pk, or a NADRA Registration Centre. A biometric/visit may be required for certain changes. No agent can push a change through faster than the official process.

Official source: NADRA — nadra.gov.pk  |  Apply: id.nadra.gov.pk / PakID app
