This is for you if:

NEW<<APPLICATION
New NICOP Application from UK
Your first proof of Pakistani citizenship abroad, applied for from the UK.
A NICOP is the card that proves you are a Pakistani citizen while you live abroad, and a first application is where most people begin: a Pakistani who has recently moved to the UK, a child born here to Pakistani parents, or anyone who has simply never held one before. It is a biometric document, so your fingerprints and photo are part of the record, and it is worth getting right the first time because your Pakistani passport is later built on the details it carries. For a first NICOP we typically need proof of your Pakistani origin (your own or a parent's), a valid passport, and photographs, and we confirm exactly which documents your case needs before anything is submitted. We verify everything, then file the application with NADRA for you. The card is valid for 10 years and is what lets you buy property, open bank accounts, and travel to Pakistan without a separate visa. It comes back to your UK address.

NICOP Renewal from UK
Renew an expiring or expired NICOP without leaving the UK.
A NICOP renewal keeps your proof of Pakistani citizenship current, and it is worth doing before the card lapses because so much depends on it: banking, property, travel, and your Pakistani passport all trace back to a valid NICOP. You do not need to visit a consulate for this. We handle the renewal remotely and need your current or expired card, a valid passport, and up-to-date photographs. A renewal is also the moment to fix anything that has changed since the card was issued: a new address, a new marital status, or a corrected detail can be updated at the same time rather than in a separate step. We recommend renewing about 3 months before the expiry date so you are never caught without a valid card. Your new NICOP is delivered to your UK address.

NICOP Lost or Damaged? Get a Replacement from UK
Lost, stolen, or damaged NICOP? Replace it from the UK.
Losing your NICOP or having it damaged beyond use is a genuine problem, because it is your working proof of Pakistani citizenship, but replacing it from the UK is more straightforward than most people expect. Whether the card was misplaced entirely or has become unreadable through water, tearing, or fading, we handle the replacement for you, including the declarations NADRA requires for a lost card. It helps to have your CNIC or NICOP number if you still know it, along with a valid passport and photographs, and we will tell you exactly what your case needs. If the card is physically damaged, send photographs of it with your application. A replacement is issued with the same details as before, so if anything has also changed, mention it and we can handle that at the same time. Your new card is delivered to your UK address.

NICOP Modification from UK
Update the name, address, or details on your NICOP, from the UK.
NICOP modification is how you correct the details NADRA holds for you: a new surname after marriage, a change of address, a date-of-birth correction, or any information that no longer matches your life. It matters more than it first appears, because your NICOP is the record your Pakistani passport is built on. A passport renewal only ever reprints what the NICOP already says, so if your card still carries the old details, the card has to be put right first, then the passport follows. We confirm which supporting documents your particular change needs (a marriage certificate for a new surname, for example), verify them before anything is submitted, and file the modification with NADRA for you. Your updated NICOP keeps its current expiry date unless you renew at the same time, and it comes back to your UK address.

Common questions
How long does NICOP renewal take from the UK?
It depends on the speed you choose. Executive: 10 working days. Urgent: 3 weeks (working days). Normal: 6 weeks (working days). These are NADRA's processing times once your application is submitted.
Can I renew an expired NICOP?
Yes. An expired NICOP is renewed from the UK in the same way as one that is about to expire. We recommend renewing about three months before the expiry date.
Do I need to visit the embassy or consulate?
No. You apply online, upload your documents through our secure page and complete your biometrics on your own phone. Your new card is delivered to your UK address.
How do the biometrics work?
NADRA needs your fingerprints and a live photo. After you apply, our team contacts you on WhatsApp and guides you through it on your own phone in the Pak ID app. It takes a few minutes. See the biometrics guide
Can I travel to Pakistan on an expired NICOP?
No. To enter Pakistan you need a valid NICOP or a visa, so renew before you travel.
