 CNIC Verification Service by NADRA In the race of technology, NADRA hits another achievement while it launches a very useful service for verifying CNIC details. 

Now you don’t need to visit NADRA offices to get someone’s details verified or to get some details regarding this. It has become very easy now to verify anyone if you are going to have dealing or are hiring him/her. Simply verify their CNIC by sending an SMS to 7000. Write CNIC Number without dashes and send it to 7000. In response you will get name and father’s name of that particular CNIC number holder (in Urdu fonts). Example: write 3740149922830 and send to 7000 Charges: Rs. 10 plus tax per Message (Around Rs. 12 including taxes) At the moment this service is available for Mobilink, Telenor and Warid customers while Ufone and Zong are in process to get listed.

Talking about benefits, this service will really help the public in there general as well as special matters as you can easily verify someone’s details to check the scam or fake ones, these credentials can really help out in business deals as well as personal contracts where you need to be sure about the real person. This service will also be helpful to law-enforcement agencies as they may be able to get more details as compared to public because there is another special number for them. They can get CNIC information by sending the number at 7001.
