National Database and Registration Authority (Application for Pakistan Origin Card) Regulations, 2025
These regulations define the eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and procedural mandates for obtaining, renewing, and cancelling a Pakistan Origin Card (POC). Holders of a valid POC are granted specific privileges, including visa-free entry, employment rights, and exemption from foreign registration requirements, subject to strict adherence to the defined categories and legal undertakings. Applications from individuals holding Indian, Israeli, or Bangladeshi nationality are explicitly prohibited, and the card's validity is strictly tied to the applicant's status as either a person of Pakistani origin or a foreign spouse.
