8171 Portal Reopens 2025 with CNIC Check and Complaint Feature

After being closed for upgrades, the 8171 web portal is now open again. You can use it to check your eligibility, track payments, verify your CNIC, and even report issues—all from home.

Why Was the Portal Closed?

• The portal was slow and kept crashing
• Security upgrades were required
• It had to handle more users at once

These updates were important to make the service safer and faster for everyone.

What’s New in 2025?

• Faster CNIC checks
• New online registration feature
• Mobile-friendly view for smartphones

• Better security to protect user data
Now the portal works smoothly and gives quick results.

What If the Portal Doesn’t Work?

• By SMS: Send your CNIC (without dashes) to 8171
