The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched the Smart National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (SNICOP) for Pakistani citizens living abroad.

This card allows any Pakistani citizen to apply for it from their country of residence and travel to Pakistan without needing a visa, provided they hold dual nationality. A valid passport number is required to obtain the Smart NICOP.

NADRA offers two fee structures for the Smart NICOP based on the applicant’s region. Bahrain, home to a large number of Pakistanis, falls under Zone B.

Nadra NICOP Fee for Bahrain (August 2024)

As of August 2024, there has been no change in the online fee structure for NICOP. The fee for a new Smart NICOP remains at $20 for the normal category, $30 for the urgent category, and $40 for the executive category.

In Pakistan, the fee is Rs5,620 for the normal category, Rs8,440 for the urgent category, and Rs11,250 for the executive category.

These fees ensure that overseas Pakistanis can easily access their identification documents, facilitating seamless travel and identification.
