Expiry date of CNIC

Published November 15, 2008

I WAS issued a CNIC, No. 41303-1083933-3, on Aug 28, 2003, with an expiry date of July 31, 2009, a validity for six years.

My birth year on the card is 1929, and when issued my age was 74 years. At this age facial features or thumb impression do not change.

For its renewal, I will again bear the agony of standing in a long queue and visiting Nadra office again and again, which I did on the previous occasion.

Will Nadra kindly elaborate the reason for such a short expiry date on the CNIC of a senior citizen?
