What is a Lost NICOP?
When a National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) is lost, stolen, or misplaced, it is considered a Lost NICOP case. Losing your NICOP can be stressful, but it is a common situation. Cards may get misplaced, stolen, or accidentally damaged.
If your NICOP is lost, it is important to report the loss and apply for a replacement as soon as possible. This helps protect your identity and maintain your official connection with Pakistan.
