Replace Expired or Lost CNIC
Replace Expired or Lost CNIC: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched a simple and cost-effective solution for those needing to renew or replace a lost ID card. Instead of applying for renewal or loss, citizens can now use the “modification” option. This allows them to access all smart ID card features without paying additional charges, just the standard minimum fee. It’s a quicker, smarter, and more affordable process for everyone.
