Frequently Asked Questions – NICOP for Overseas Pakistanis

Is NICOP different from a normal CNIC?

Yes. A CNIC is generally issued to residents living inside Pakistan, while NICOP is made especially for Pakistanis living abroad. Both are official NADRA identity cards, but NICOP is designed for Overseas Pakistanis and dual nationals.

How long is NICOP valid?

Many NICOP cards are valid for up to 10 years, depending on your age and category. When your card is near expiry, Travel Cheap Ticket can guide you through the renewal process.

Can I travel to Pakistan using NICOP only?

NICOP is an identity card, not a travel document. You must always carry your passport. In many cases, NICOP holders do not need a separate visa to enter Pakistan, but you should always check the latest rules before travelling.

Can I change my name or marital status on NICOP?

Yes. It is possible to apply for modification of details such as name, marital status or address, but NADRA will ask for additional supporting documents (for example, marriage certificate or official court order). We tell you exactly what is needed before you submit your modification request.
