How do you track your NADRA ID application status?
You can utilize NADRA’s service to monitor the status of your CNIC application, including CNIC renewal. This website enables you to keep tabs on the progress of various ID applications like NICOP or POC and get real-time updates on their status. This service comes in handy if you’ve ever wondered, “How can I track my NADRA ID card online?” You can download your identity documents and verify your identity online, all through your NADRA tracking ID check.
With the goal to streamline services, NADRA has installed self-service kiosks wherein uploading documents and verification of identity and biometrics can be easily accessed.
In addition, NADRA is set to roll out new facial recognition software in nationwide registration centers to assist, particularly the elderly, with biometric verification. While the initiative was planned to be implemented by 15 January 2025, updates on its progress can be monitored through official channels.
