The national ID is free of charge. The government can only issue a fee if one applies for a replacement of the ID due to damage or loss.
Any change or correction of entries in the name, sex, date of birth, place of birth, or marital status shall be effected through the filing of the PhilSys Registration or Correction Form and the submission of the annotated PSA-issued Birth Certificate or Marriage Certificate, as the case may be.
To correct the mistake in your CNIC you have to file a proper suit for correction and declaration under section 42 of Specific Relief Act,1877 in the concerned Civil Court. While filing suit to correct date of birth in NADRA you must have following documents in your possession.
The process takes a maximum of two (2) weeks to complete.
