In a major step toward enhancing data accuracy and public trust, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has unveiled a nationwide initiative that allows citizens to correct errors in their Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) without any fines or legal consequences.
This unique amnesty scheme invites individuals — whether they’ve submitted inaccurate details knowingly or unknowingly — to voluntarily update their records. The move is designed to foster accountability, strengthen the integrity of Pakistan’s digital ID system, and provide legal cover for honest corrections.
Under this campaign, citizens can:
- Visit NADRA service centers across Pakistan
- Review and update their CNIC details
- Receive legal protection for self-reporting inaccuracies
NADRA has made it clear that this is a limited-time opportunity. After the window closes, those found with false information may face legal proceedings. This initiative not only helps individuals protect their identity rights but also ensures national records are clean, secure, and usable for public services, welfare access, and governance systems.
As Pakistan moves toward greater digitization under the “Digital Pakistan” agenda, such efforts are crucial to promoting data transparency and building a reliable citizen database. NADRA has urged citizens to make use of this rare opportunity to fix their records — no punishment, no penalties, just a fresh start.
