LAHORE – The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) allows citizens to modify their date of birth details on identity cards, provided they submit valid and strong documentary evidence to support the requested change. A Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) serves as a key identification document for citizens and is widely used for accessing government services, banking facilities, mobile SIM registration, travel-related processes, and other official matters. It helps verify an individual’s identity, maintain accurate national records, and supports secure transactions. Keeping CNIC information updated ensures smoother access to essential services and reduces difficulties during verification procedures. Required Documents To request an age modification, applicants must provide strong documentary evidence supporting the change. Accepted documents include a Matriculation Certificate or a Computerized Birth Certificate issued by the Union Council. NADRA reviews the submitted documents before processing requests to update personal information in official identity records. Age Modification Fee NADRA has set a processing fee for modifying age or date of birth details in identity cards, according to the latest update for July 2026. Applicants seeking a change of up to one year in their birth date records in the NADRA database will have to pay a processing fee of Rs1,000 for applications submitted within Pakistan, while overseas applicants will be charged USD 15.
