If you’re a Pakistani living in the UAE and planning to apply for a NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis), NADRA has made the process simple and convenient with multiple fee options based on how quickly you need your card.

For online applications, the standard fee is AED 75, urgent processing costs AED 110, and the executive (fastest) service is AED 150. These options allow applicants to choose the speed that best suits their needs.

NADRA also offers the ease of applying through its online portal or mobile app, removing the need for in-person visits. This is especially helpful for overseas Pakistanis with busy schedules.

NICOP is essential for Pakistani citizens living abroad, as it allows visa-free travel to Pakistan for those with dual nationality. NADRA manages the issuance of these cards for Pakistani expatriates in countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and many others.

With a streamlined process and user-friendly application methods, getting your NICOP from abroad has never been easier.
