How to decode the 13-digit CNIC number:


The history behind  the unique 13-digit CNIC number:


In 1973, The government of Pakistan issued (manual) National Identity card to its citizens, The old NIC had 11 digits of identification number and the databases of the people stored in NDO (National Data Organisation) in Government computer

 The formation NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) was on tenth March 2000; by combining two National departments, Directorate General of Registration Pakistan and NDO.

Thus from 2001 to 2002, NADRA replaced the paper-based Personal Identity System of Pakistan to Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), with having 13-digit of the identification number. The old manual NIC Number was declared invalid from January 2004.

 So a unique CNIC number of 13 digits is assigned to the paediatric registry, commonly referred to as the B-form. When applying for a Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC), the same 13-digit number is issued.

The second number in a person's first five digit is for division. E.g. in the locality numeral “35202” The 2nd digit represents Lahore division.

 The 3rd number shows the district of the division. For example, in locality number “35202” the 3rd number represents Lahore district.

The fourth number indicates tehsil. If it is '0', it means that the district and the tehsil are under the same name. e.g. In locality numeral “35202” The 4th digit '0' shows tehsil, which is zero means district and tehsil both are same, that is Lahore city.

5th number of locality numerals “35202” shows the union council. The Next seven-digit part (serial numbers), after locality numeral in the middle of two dashes, is family digit.
