Service Overview

Keep Your Records Reachable

The address on your CNIC determines where official documents reach you and affects your voting and service records. Updating it after a move keeps your information current and avoids missed deliveries or registration in the wrong area.

When to Update

  • After moving to a new home or city
  • When your printed address is incorrect
  • To register in the correct electoral area
  • For accurate banking and government records

Good to Know

  • Both permanent and temporary addresses can usually be updated online via Pak-ID.
  • Keep address proof ready — a utility bill, rent agreement or ownership document.
  • A new card with the updated address is couriered to you.

What this means for you

Updating the address on your CNIC keeps your records current — useful for correct domicile, voter registration in the right constituency, and address-based services. You usually need proof of your new residence, such as a utility bill or a tenancy/ownership document.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Applying without acceptable proof of the new address.
  • Assuming a CNIC address change automatically changes your domicile — domicile is a separate certificate.
  • Details not matching your family record.

How to verify you are on the official channel

Apply only through NADRA — PakID app, id.nadra.gov.pk, or an NRC.
