SOP- Cancellation of POR Cards of genuine Pakistani Nationals and issuance of CNIC

This standard operating procedure establishes a framework for Pakistani nationals and naturalized citizens currently holding Proof of Registration (POR) cards to obtain a Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) by canceling their existing POR status. Applicants must submit specific pre-1978 documentation or formal citizenship certificates to a Regional Verification Board, alongside a 5,000 PKR processing fee, to initiate database reconciliation. Following verification, successful applicants will have their POR record moved to history, while cases with unauthentic credentials face denial of service and potential revocation of existing identification.
