The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched new guidelines to streamline the cancellation of identity cards (CNICs) for deceased individuals.
This initiative aims to alleviate public concerns over the challenges encountered when obtaining death certificates and canceling CNICs, especially since some deceased persons still appeared on voter lists due to unrevoked IDs.
Under the updated guidelines, close relatives of the deceased can request the cancellation of their CNIC by providing essential documents. These include a valid National Identity Card or NICOP, a death certificate issued by the Union Council, and a burial certificate.
To prevent misuse, NADRA will ensure that the original ID card of the deceased is destroyed at the registration center.
Steps for Cancelling CNICs:
1. Visit a NADRA Office: Relatives should go to the nearest NADRA office.
2. Obtain an Application Form: NADRA staff will provide the required application form.
3. Complete the Form: Fill out the necessary information and attach the death certificate and the deceased’s ID card, if available.
4. Submit the Application: Hand in the completed form to NADRA officials to receive a cancellation certificate.
The process is completely free, and applicants can expect to receive the cancellation certificate within seven days.
