NICOP/POC
NICOP is an abbreviation for “National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis”. It is issued to Pakistani citizens only. Whereas, POC means “Pakistan Origin Card” and it is issued to persons who were formerly Pakistani Citizens but later gave up their nationality. The benefits of having NICOP and POC are as follows: NICOP enables a person to apply for a Pakistani Machine Readable (MRP) Passport. Please note that while abroad CNIC is not sufficient to apply for MRP. In case of dual nationality, NICOP enables its holder to travel to Pakistan on other country’s passport without Pakistani visa. All other privileges of Pakistani nationality while in Pakistan are also afforded to holders of NICOP like purchase of property, purchase of local mobile SIMs etc. POC holders enjoy all benefits as NICOP holders except that they are not able to apply for Pakistani passports.
