NADRA Warns Stop Unnecessary CNIC Photocopies
The advisory issued by the National Database and Registration Authority directed the masses to avoid unnecessary photocopies of national identity cards (CNICs), family registration certificates, and other NADRA-issued documents.
According to the advisory, NADRA offices only require original documents for most transactions. Citizens can simply present their original documents or the corresponding NADRA-issued numbers. Only in specific cases, such as documents that NADRA cannot access online, will photocopies be necessary.
The advisory highlights that unnecessary photocopies of important documents can pose security risks, as they may be misused by unauthorized individuals. In case of any complaints, citizens are advised to file them at https://complaints.nadra.gov.pk.
