To assist overseas Pakistanis, the Interior Ministry has announced that Pakistani citizens living in Saudi Arabia can now renew their National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) at the NADRA counter in the Pakistan embassy in Riyadh.
The embassy houses a fully operational NADRA office that offers a comprehensive range of services, including NICOP, CNIC, CRC, FRC, and Biometric Verification of Succession Certificate. The NADRA mobile registration team will be available on May 24 and 25, from 8 am to 4 pm, Saudi Arabia time.
NICOP, a special identity card issued to Pakistani citizens residing abroad, allows them to travel to Pakistan without a visa, provided they are nationals of a country that shares a dual nationality arrangement with Pakistan.
To apply for passport renewal, Pakistani citizens are advised to bring their old cards and a copy of their passport when visiting the embassy.
In a related development, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has recently launched an ‘All-in-One’ digital identity kit. This innovative device integrates state-of-the-art biometric authentication features, marking a significant leap in digital identity management.
