CNIC is Needed to Apply for BISP New Registration

To register for the BISP New Registration, you must have a valid CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card). It proves that you are citizen of Pakistan. If your CNIC is expired, incorrect, or lost, visit the NADRA office first and get it fixed. BISP does not accept applications without a CNIC. Also, women applying must have their own CNIC, not their husband’s. Without this card, the system cannot accept your application or check your record.

Family and Income Information Must Be Accurate

When you apply for BISP, you must share correct details about your family and income. These include the number of people in your house, their names, ages, and relationship with you. You also need to share if anyone in your family is earning money. The government uses this data to see if you are poor enough to receive the monthly payment. This step is very important to make sure only truly needy families get the support.

Provide Utility Bills to Confirm Your Address

You must give a utility bill, like an electricity or gas bill, from your home. This is used to confirm where you are you living now. If you do not have a bill in your name, you can use your landlord’s or a family member’s bill, but the address must match your CNIC. The utility bill helps BISP check if you are living in poor conditions. It also helps to avoid fake or double registrations. Make sure bill is not more than two months old.

Required Documents for BISP Registration

You need to carry the following documents when going to register:

• CNIC (Original and Copy)
• Passport-size Photograph
• Names and details of all family members
• Latest electricity or gas bill

These documents help in the NSER Survey, which is used to check who is eligible for the Ehsaas or BISP payment.
