With Nadra service codes, you will get the required information through a single text message
Nadra is the National Database and Registry Authority of Pakistan. From issuing national ID cards, passports and other important documents, Nadra is responsible for maintaining a database of all Pakistani nationals. The good piece of information is that Nadra has made it quite easy for all citizens by introducing Nadra service codes or you can say Nadra SMS services. In this blog I will list all SMS codes, together with the information you can get with them.
Meaning of Nadra service codes
The fact is that using Nadra service codes is quite simple. All you need is a mobile phone with SMS function. The required message just needs to be sent to the number provided by Nadra to use any service. You can use these SMS codes for NADRA SIM tracking. It also gives you information about the number of SIM cards registered against the CNIC number, activation date, network operator, type of SIM card and ownership details. This isn’t it. The Nadra SMS codes can be used for things other than SIM tracking like checking registration status, verifying CNIC, checking the details related to your car, and whatever. Let’s look at the table:
List of Nadra codes
| USSD | Goal |
| 8521 | To check if your car is stolen or not |
| 7000 | CNIC Verification or Citizen Verification |
| 8400 | Details about the status of your application for CNIC. |
| 9888 | Watan Card of Flood Beneficiaries verification |
| 9777 | Pakistan map |
| 8300 | Voter registration status |
| 8500 | PM National Health Program |
| 8009 | Nadra pedigree verification |
| 9966 | To know if you are a Filer/Non-Filer |
| 668 | Number of SIM cards on different networks |
| 1166 | To know if you are vaccinated against Corona or not |
| 9780 | Sehat Sahulat card |
| 8171 | Ehsas registration |
I’ve shared a few screenshots of the codes I ran. Let’s see:
| Keep in mind!!
The point worth noting is that most of the above codes are not free. For example, NADRA CNIC verification online via SMS charges Rs. 10+tax by SMS. You must have a balance on your mobile otherwise you will not get the result against SMS. You will be charged 2 PKR + tax for each SMS against 668 to know about SIM card no. So the costs vary for everyone Nadra codes. |
It would not be wrong to say that assuming SIM monitoring and confirming the registration status of mobile phone SIM cards, the Nadra shortcodes are quite helpful. It is important to use this service carefully and to double-check the data you have collected from other sources. Many people take advantage of this nifty initiative from NADRA as it helps them bypass queues and physical attendance.
