In the race of
technology, NADRA hits
another achievement
while it launches a very
useful service for
verifying CNIC details.
Now you don’t need to
visit NADRA offices to
get someone's details
verified or to get some
details regarding this.
It has become very easy
now to verify anyone if
you are going to have
dealing or are hiring
him/her.
Simply verify
their CNIC by sending an
SMS to 7000.
Write CNIC Number
without dashes and send
it to 7000. In response
you will get name and
father’s name of that
particular CNIC number
holder (in urdu fonts).
Example: write
3740149922830
and send to
7000
Charges:
Rs. 10 plus tax
per Message (Around Rs.
12 including taxes)
One may think that
this is a privacy loop
hole, however, as it
does not provide any
contact details of the
CNIC holder and only
reveals the name and
father’s name – so it is
acceptable and helpful
in many means.
Talking about
benefits, this service
will really help the
public in there general
as well as special
matters as you can
easily verify someone’s
details to check the
scam or fake ones, these
credentials can really
help out in business
deals as well as
personal contracts where
you need to be sure
about the real person.
This service will
also be helpful to
law-enforcement agencies
as they may be able to
get more details as
compared to public
because there is another
special number for them.
They can get CNIC
information by sending
the number at 7001.
Subscribers will get
details through cellular
companies which would
collect data in real
time communication from
NADRA National Data
Warehouse. This is
thought be a secure data
transfer as service
numbers are labeled as
"Special Numbers".
NADRA is also
supporting
law-enforcement agencies
and govt. to implement
and cope up with
prevailing law and order
situation. This step is
regarded as a good
initiative as it will
support telecom
infrastructure as a big
advancement and will led
others to bring these
kinda changes and
revolutions. A lot of
thing are on their way
but still a BIG job is
to be done.
