ISLAMABAD – The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued an updated fee structure for age modification requests in the Smart National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (Smart NICOP) under the PAK ID system.
This initiative aims to maintain accurate identity records while discouraging frequent or unjustified changes to sensitive information like date of birth.
What is Smart NICOP?
The NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) is issued to Pakistani citizens living abroad who have dual nationality with a country that shares a dual nationality agreement with Pakistan.
NICOP holders can travel to Pakistan without a visa.
Revised NICOP Age Modification Fees (2025):
| Age Difference | Fee |
|---|---|
| 1 year or less | $5 USD |
| More than 1 year, up to 2 years | $25 USD |
| More than 2 years, up to 3 years | $40 USD |
| More than 3 years | $65 USD |
| Second time modification (any range) | $125 USD |
Where to Apply:
Overseas Pakistanis can apply for age corrections and other modifications via the PAK ID online portal, which allows secure and convenient access from anywhere in the world.
Authorities advise applicants to double-check their data during the first application to avoid the need for costly modifications later.
