NADRA’s Islamabad and Karachi offices are not on the same page. I am a senior citizen and desired the mobile Nadra team because of my inability to visit the Nadra office for revalidation of my CNIC, which expired on May 31.

The Islamabad information desk maintains that my CNIC has become invalid while the Karachi office in Mohammad Ali Cooperative Housing Society maintains that it does not require revalidation.

I am in a fix and do not know who to believe. Can Nadra help and provide a policy statement for all Nadra offices. My CNIC # is 42101-1759638-5.
