NADRA Updates NICOP Age Modification Fee Structure
The new policy introduces a range of fees for age modification, from $5 to $125, and allows applications to be made through the Pak ID app, NADRA office, or Pakistani embassy, making it easier for Overseas Pakistanis to update their NICOP documents.
Overseas Pakistanis can now apply for age modification in their National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) through various platforms, including the Pak ID app, NADRA office, or Pakistani embassy in their country of residence, with updated fees and documentation requirements.
The age modification guidelines for NICOP holders have been updated, allowing for changes to be made through convenient channels. The required documents for age modification vary based on the level of age change, with different fees applying for each category. For example, a change of up to 1 year requires a birth certificate and costs $5, while a change of 1-2 years requires a passport, matric certificate, and mark sheet, and costs $25.
The revised policy also introduces a new fee structure for age modification, with costs ranging from $5 for up to 1 year to $125 for second-time modification. Pakistani citizens living in the UAE can also apply for NICOP for their children and family members at Pakistani consulates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with updated fees for normal, urgent, and executive processing categories.
The NICOP offers various benefits to its holders, including the ability to travel to Pakistan without a visa, voting rights, property ownership, and access to a Pakistani passport. With the updated age modification guidelines and fee structure, NADRA aims to provide a more convenient and efficient service to Overseas Pakistanis.
The updated age modification guidelines and fee structure for NICOP holders are expected to benefit thousands of Overseas Pakistanis, providing them with a more streamlined and accessible process for making changes to their identity documents.
