How to Pay NADRA Fee Through Easypaisa or JazzCash
Pay NADRA fees through JazzCash or Easypaisa using the PSID (Payment Slip ID) generated during your online application. In the app, go to Government Payments → NADRA, enter the PSID, and confirm. Payment reflects in NADRA's system within 1-2 hours.
What Is a PSID and Where to Find It
When you apply for any NADRA service online (CNIC renewal, B-Form, NICOP, modification), the system generates a PSID — Payment Slip ID. This is a unique code that identifies your specific transaction. You need this PSID to pay the fee through any payment channel. It's displayed on screen after submitting your application and also sent via SMS or email.
Think of the PSID as a bill reference number — similar to how your electricity reference number identifies your specific bill. Without the correct PSID, the payment can't be linked to your application.

After Payment — What Happens Next
- Instant confirmation SMS from JazzCash/Easypaisa with transaction ID.
- NADRA system update: 1-2 hours for payment to reconcile with your application. During this time, your application status may show "Payment Pending."
- Application proceeds: Once payment is confirmed in NADRA's system, your CNIC/B-Form/NICOP application moves to processing.
- If payment doesn't reconcile after 24 hours: Contact the payment provider (JazzCash/Easypaisa helpline) with your transaction ID. They can confirm the payment was sent to NADRA. Then contact NADRA helpline (1777) with both the PSID and transaction ID.
Payment Troubleshooting
- PSID not recognized. You may have entered it incorrectly — double-check all digits. PSIDs are time-sensitive; some expire after 24-48 hours if unpaid. Generate a new PSID if needed.
- Payment deducted but application still "pending." Wait 2-4 hours for reconciliation. If still pending after 24 hours, contact NADRA at 1777 with your PSID and payment receipt.
- Insufficient balance. Ensure your JazzCash/Easypaisa account has enough for the fee plus any convenience charge (typically Rs. 10-20).
- "Service unavailable" error. The NADRA payment gateway occasionally goes offline for maintenance. Try again in a few hours or use an alternative method (bank app, bank branch).
Save your PSID and payment receipt. The PSID links your payment to your specific application. If there's any payment dispute, you'll need both the PSID and the transaction confirmation (SMS/receipt) to resolve it.
