If you are planning to go abroad for employment, higher education, or permanent residence, one of the most important steps is to get your NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) made before leaving Pakistan.
The NICOP is an official identification document issued by NADRA that allows Pakistanis living overseas to travel, work, and access services with ease. Having this card ensures smoother immigration processes, recognition as a Pakistani national abroad, and several other benefits such as property ownership and banking in Pakistan.
To make the process simple, NADRA has made it possible to apply for a NICOP from any NADRA center across Pakistan. The procedure involves basic documentation, biometric verification, and a short processing time.
