How to Apply for a NADRA Card in the UK Using the Pak Identity App
Pakistanis living in the UK can apply for many NADRA identity services online using the official Pak Identity (PakID) app and portal. This means eligible applicants can start and manage applications from home without travelling to Pakistan.
If by “NADRA Card” you mean a NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis), the Pak Identity platform can be used for services such as a new application, renewal, modification and replacement, depending on your circumstances.
How to Apply Through the Pak Identity App
The application process can generally be completed in the following steps:
1. Download the Pak Identity App
Download NADRA’s official Pak Identity app on your compatible smartphone or access the official Pak Identity online service. Create an account using your email address and complete the required account verification.
2. Select the Required NADRA Service
Sign in and select the identity document and application category relevant to you. Make sure you choose the correct service, such as a new NICOP, renewal, modification or replacement.
3. Enter Your Personal Details
Complete the online application carefully. You may be asked for personal, family, address and existing identity-document information.
Make sure names, dates of birth and other details match your supporting records.
4. Upload the Required Documents
Upload clear copies or images of the documents requested for your particular application. Requirements can vary depending on whether you are applying for a new card, renewing an existing card or changing information.
Supporting documents may include an existing NICOP/CNIC, passport, birth information, parents’ identity documents or other evidence relevant to the application.
5. Complete Photograph and Biometric Requirements
Follow the instructions provided by Pak Identity for your photograph, fingerprints, signature or other verification requirements applicable to your application.
Make sure photographs and uploaded information meet the required quality standards to reduce the risk of delays.
6. Review and Pay the Application Fee
Check all information carefully before submission. Select the available processing category applicable to your application and pay the required fee through the payment methods offered by the official platform.
7. Submit and Track Your Application
Once submitted, keep your application or tracking details safe. You can use the Pak Identity system to monitor the progress of your application and respond if additional information or documents are requested.
