NADRA releases public alert about CNIC dangers

NADRA has shared an important message for the public, warning people about the risks linked to their Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs).

They explained that people should avoid making photocopies of their CNICs when using services. Instead, they should show their original ID. This step is to help protect everyone’s personal information.

NADRA raised concerns about identity theft. They said that scammers are pretending to be officials to trick people into giving away their personal information. These scams often offer fake prizes, money, or rewards to make people share details like fingerprints, which can be very dangerous.

Stay Alert and Protect Your CNIC

NADRA advised everyone to be extra careful, especially when visiting NADRA centres. People should never hand over their CNIC as a guarantee for any service or prize. Being cautious can help protect you from becoming a victim of identity theft.

By reducing unnecessary photocopying of CNICs, NADRA hopes to better protect citizens’ sensitive information and make it harder for scammers to misuse it.
