The Computerized National ID Card (CNIC) includes a sophisticated array of security features to safeguard against fraud and improper use. The CNIC contains machine-readable information, although characteristics can be seen with the naked eye and others must be verified using optical aids. The special characteristics of the CNIC will protect its integrity.
A person shall be an eligible foreigner of Pakistan origin or eligible for Pakistan Origin Card if he is a foreigner; and he had been a citizen of Pakistan at any time during his life. Among other cards, NADRA Ordinance envisages issuance of cards to foreigners of Pakistani origin who have got themselves registered under the NADRA Ordinance. This card is called the Pakistan Origin Card. On account of its utility, it is an identification document usable in place of NIC whenever required. However POC is more than just an identification document.

The prevailing turmoil and security concerns in the world demand robust identification and verification systems that allow authorities to be constantly vigilant and thus prevent any kind of unlawful acts. NADRA recognizes its responsibility in doing whatever it can to enhance the security of documents and to improve public safety and national security. This new Drivers License makes it harder to counterfeit or steal drivers licenses, by adding the RFID computer chips. These RFID tags foil identity theft and prevent criminals from using false documents to move about freely.
