Service Overview

Update Your Overseas ID

NICOP modification lets overseas Pakistanis correct or update the details printed on their card, such as name, address or marital status. As the printed data changes, a new Smart NICOP is reissued with the corrected information.

Common Updates

  • Correcting a name spelling
  • Updating your address abroad
  • Updating marital status
  • Correcting other personal details

Good to Know

  • Major changes (name, parentage) need an attested affidavit.
  • You can apply online through Pak-ID.
  • A new card is reissued, so standard NICOP fees apply.

What this means for you

NICOP modification updates the details on your overseas identity card — for example a corrected name, address or marital status — without issuing a new identity number. Each change usually needs a supporting document, and the updated card is couriered to you abroad.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Confusing modification (changing details) with renewal (extending validity).
  • Applying without the document that proves the change.
  • Expecting instant delivery overseas.

How to verify you are on the official channel

Apply only through NADRA — PakID app or id.nadra.gov.pk. Ignore third-party sites offering to “update” your NICOP.

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