The process involves six steps, starting with obtaining a token and ending with the collection of an updated identity card.

Documents Required to Change Address on CNIC

NADRA has identified three types of supporting documents that citizens can use to change their current or permanent address.

Applicants can provide any one of the following documents, depending on their circumstances:

CNIC of a Blood Relative: The identity card of a blood relative showing the address the applicant wants to register.

Residential Property Documents: Documents showing that the residential property at the requested address is registered in the applicant’s name.

Utility Bill: An electricity, gas, or water bill issued in the applicant’s name and showing the requested address.

NADRA has outlined a six-step procedure for citizens applying to change their residential address at a registration centre.

Step 1: Obtain a Token

Visit a nearby NADRA Registration Centre with your existing CNIC and the relevant address verification document.

Approach the reception counter and obtain a token for the CNIC modification service.

After receiving the token, wait until your number is called.

Step 2: Complete Biometric Verification

Once your turn arrives, proceed to the designated registration counter.

A NADRA representative will complete the required biometric verification to confirm your identity.

According to the authority, the process includes fingerprint verification, photograph capture, and iris verification.

The responsible official will review the application and complete the required approval process.

Step 6: Collect Your Updated CNIC

After completing the procedure, applicants will receive a receipt for their CNIC modification request.
