Independent general guidance, not a government service or an application portal. Requirements vary by location and circumstances. Confirm current eligibility, documents, fees, processing times and the correct office on the official government website before applying. Never send identity documents, CNIC numbers, passwords or OTPs to this site.
Steps to get started
- Start at NADRA’s official website and identify the service you need: a first CNIC, renewal, modification or another document. Check whether an online application route is appropriate before arranging a visit.
- Use official NADRA channels to confirm whether your chosen centre accepts appointments, walk-ins or another token arrangement. Follow only booking links provided by NADRA.
- Check the documents to bring, who must attend and whether any prior application or reference is required. Confirm centre arrangements before travelling rather than relying on an old listing.
- If booking is available, follow the official instructions and retain the confirmation privately. If slots are unavailable, ask NADRA about the current options rather than paying someone for a guaranteed slot.
- On the day, follow the centre’s current instructions. An appointment or token is a place in the service process, not approval of the document application.
Before you apply
Slots, opening arrangements and token procedures can change. Do not pay unsolicited appointment sellers or share account passwords and OTPs. This site cannot book or guarantee a NADRA appointment.

Frequently asked questions
Can I book online at every NADRA centre?
Do not assume so. Confirm the available booking or walk-in procedure for the specific centre and service through NADRA.
Does a token guarantee my CNIC will be issued?
No. A token or appointment does not replace eligibility, document or identity checks.
What if someone offers a paid guaranteed appointment?
Treat the offer cautiously. Verify the service and any payment requirements directly with NADRA and never hand over passwords or OTPs.
