How to Change Address on CINC

In this article, I will share with you how to change your address on CINC through NADRA. Before going deep into this, first analyze why people have to change their addresses on NIC.

Why Changing the Address on NIC is Important?

In CNIC, there are two types of addresses that are printed on the back side of the CNIC: the first is a temporary address, and the second is permanent. A temporary address means you are staying at a particular address for a short period of time. The permanent address shows that you are a permanent resident of that address.

So, once you move to a new address, whether temporary or permanent, you have to update this address on your NIC. Because your NIC is legal proof. Whether you live in Pakistan or outside Pakistan, you have to update your address on your CNIC.

Your temporary address is showing where you are currently residing. It states your current location. You can receive all your post office mail at this address, where you are temporarily living.

Nadra has some policies to change your temporary address, which are as below:
