The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has recently announced a revised policy regarding age modification for overseas Pakistanis holding a National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP). This update is crucial for expatriates who need to correct their date of birth or other age-related details in official documents.

At Advocate In Lahore, we understand the legal complexities involved in such modifications and are here to guide you through the process. Below, we break down the key aspects of NADRA’s revised policy and how it affects overseas Pakistanis.

   • NADRA now requires additional supporting documents for age modification, including:
     • Original birth certificate issued by the Union Council or relevant authority.
     • School records (Matriculation or equivalent certificate showing date of birth).
     • Previous passports or national ID cards (if applicable).
     • Any other government-issued documents verifying the correct age.
2. Biometric Verification Mandatory
   • Overseas Pakistanis must appear in person at a NADRA office or Pakistan’s embassy/consulate for biometric verification.
   • In exceptional cases, authorized representatives may file applications with proper legal documentation.
3. Enhanced Scrutiny to Prevent Fraud
   • NADRA has implemented strict verification measures to curb fraudulent age changes.
   • Applications may undergo additional review, delaying processing times.
