| Getting CNIC photocopy |
You might want
to get CNIC Copy of your own CNIC or CNIC of some other person. So, this article, I have covered answers of
following questions:-
1.
Can you get CNIC Copy online?
2.
What type of CNIC can you get online and how it is
different?
3.
Can you get CNIC Copy from CNIC number?
1. Can you get CNIC copy online?
The answer of this question may be “Yes” and may be “No”. If
you want true copy of CNIC online, it is not possible because NADRA
does not allow you to download / get CNIC copy (black or colour) online of
yourself or any other person.
Yes in a sense
that if you have relations with any person who is employed in NADRA office, he
may help you in getting CNIC copy.
Yes in another sense that if you have already saved/uploaded CNIC copy on any online platform
like Gmail account or facebook etc, you can download it from that platform
where you uploaded it.
So, it is advised to save your CNIC copy in online platform so that it
can be downloaded from any where when needed. Beware,
not to sure password of such platform from any one.
2. What type of CNIC can you get online and how it is different?
Earlier, NADRA had provided a facility on https://id.nadra.gov.pk/, in which any one was
able to download color copy of CNIC just by providing “CNIC Number” and “Date
of issue” and paying Rs. 50/-. This service was earlier known
as “Verification of CNIC”.
But now NADRA has discontinued this service. Be noted, the CNIC
Copy which was downloadable at that time was not a true copy just like
original one and was little bit different from original CNIC so that any one
can differentiate this Copy from original one.
3. Can you get CNIC Copy from CNIC number?
No. I have
already explained in reply to Question No. 2 that before this, any one was able
to get CNIC copy (little bit changed from original one) online but for
that not only CNIC number was required but “date of issue of CNIC” was
also required. Hence, without date of issue of CNIC, it was not possible to get
CNIC copy even at that time.
But now after disconnection of “verification of CNIC”, you cannot get
copy of CNIC even though you have both CNIC number as well as date of issue.
