Getting a Pakistani National Identity Card (NIC) or other documents from NADRA? You’ll need to fill out a Data Acquisition Form. This guide explains everything you need to know!
What’s the NADRA Data Acquisition Form?
Think of it as an application form for your ID card or other NADRA documents. It asks for details like your name, birthday, address, and family information.
Who Needs This Form?
- Pakistani citizens applying for a NIC for the first time
- Renewing your existing NIC
- Applying for other NADRA documents like passports or driving licenses
Download and Fill Out the Form:
- Grab the form from the NADRA website or pick one up at a NADRA office.
- Print it clearly on regular A4 paper.
- Fill it out with black ink, making sure everything is accurate.
- Get your signature and a witness’s signature verified by an official (magistrate or notary).
Uploading Your Form Online:
- Scan the completed form at a high resolution (600 DPI or higher) in black and white.
- Save the scan as a JPEG or PNG file to keep the size small (under 10 MB).
- Head to the NADRA website (https://id.nadra.gov.pk/) and upload the scanned form.
Tips for Uploading Success:
- Make sure your scan is clear and readable.
- Use a compressed file format to keep the size down.
- Double-check the file size before uploading (less than 10 MB).
Common Upload Issues:
- Low-quality scan: Rescan the form at a higher resolution.
- Large file size: Save the scan in a compressed format or reduce the image quality.
Uploading Other Forms:
- The verifier form is another name for the Data Acquisition Form. Use the same upload process.
Is Uploading Mandatory?
Yes, you must upload the Data Acquisition Form when applying for a NICOP or FRC online. No form, no application!
Thumbprint Issues:
You can still upload the form even if your fingerprints aren’t perfectly clear. However, NADRA might ask you to re-do the form later.
By following these steps, you can easily upload your NADRA Data Acquisition Form and get a step closer to your new ID card or document!
