What is the official NADRA helpline number in Pakistan?

For mobile callers inside Pakistan (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone), the official 24/7 helpline is shortcode 1777. For landline callers and overseas Pakistanis calling from abroad, the official helpline is +92 51 111 786 100.

Does the 7000 helpline number still work for NADRA?

No. The 4-digit code "7000" was an older shortcode that is no longer active. Many citizens still search for 7000 due to outdated internet guides, but calls will fail or disconnect. You must dial 1777 from any cellular mobile phone.

Does NADRA have an official WhatsApp number for customer queries?

No, NADRA does NOT operate any two-way WhatsApp phone number for resolving complaints, checking card status, or collecting citizen documents. NADRA only maintains an official one-way WhatsApp broadcast Channel to publish announcements. Any individual or agency offering NADRA services or requesting CNIC copies over WhatsApp is fraudulent.

How do I lodge a complaint if my CNIC has spelling errors printed by NADRA?

If the spelling error was caused by data entry operator negligence (and your submitted form had the correct spelling), lodge an immediate ticket via the CMS portal (id.nadra.gov.pk/complaint/) or call 1777 with your token tracking number. The NRC is required to reprint the card without charging duplicate fees.

Where can I report rude behavior or bribery demands by NADRA staff?

You can report staff misconduct immediately to the Center Incharge or Regional Vigilance Cell, lodge a priority ticket via 1777 (option 4 for complaints), email csd@nadra.gov.pk, or submit a report on the Prime Minister’s Performance Delivery Unit (PMDU / Citizen’s Portal).

How can I check the status of an existing complaint?

Visit id.nadra.gov.pk/complaint/ and click "Check Status", then enter your Complaint Reference Number and registered mobile number. Alternatively, dial 1777 and quote your ticket number to the customer service agent.
