NADRA starts updating death record of citizens ISLAMABAD: National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) has started updating the death record of citizens of Pakistan by issuing the cancellation of CNIC certificate. Under the amended NADRA ordinance 2006, NADRA is responsible for maintaining the updated and current state of the country's population through preserving the history records of the citizens. The main aim of launching cancellation services is to facilitate the citizens to fulfill the legal requirements and update information and records in the database against CNICs / NICOPs and CRCs. In case of a death, the successors are legally obliged to report the cancellation of CNIC of the deceased. Only blood relatives (next of kin) i.e, Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Son, Daughter or Husband/ Wife of deceased person can apply for CNIC cancellation through NADRA Swift Registration Centers (NSRC). Applicant will be required to present "Death Certificate issued by Union Council" as a confirmation of death against which cancellation of CNIC is required. NADRA will charge fifty rupees for issuance of CNIC cancellation certificate. It is also mandatory that successor must be a CNIC holder. The applicant can get this certificate after three days from the same NSRC from where he applied.
