CNIC Verification Update – Step-by-Step Guide
In 2026, CNIC verification is mandatory for all BISP beneficiaries. The government and NADRA have partnered to ensure that every beneficiary’s data is valid and up to date. Without verification, payments may remain on hold.
Here’s how to verify your CNIC:
- Visit your nearest NADRA office for biometric verification.
- Bring your original CNIC and family registration certificate (FRC).
- Once verified, wait for a confirmation SMS from 8171.
- Recheck your status on the 8171 web portal within 48–72 hours.
If your CNIC has expired, renew it immediately to avoid payment suspension.
