What 341 tells you

A Pakistani CNIC is thirteen digits long, and the first five of them are not random. They are a location record, written at the moment the card was registered. A card whose number opens with 341 was registered in Gujranwala District, Punjab, in Gujranwala Division.

Reading it left to right: 3 is the province digit and is definitive — 3 always means Punjab. 4 selects the division inside that province, here Gujranwala Division. 1 selects the district inside that division, which gives us Gujranwala. The two digits that follow — positions four and five — narrow it further to a local registration zone inside the district.

WHAT IT DOES NOT TELL YOUThe prefix is a registration record, not an address. It does not prove where someone lives now, it is not a domicile certificate, and it says nothing about ethnicity or nationality beyond Pakistani citizenship. People who move keep the prefix they were first registered under.

TEHSILS OF GUJRANWALA

COMMON QUESTIONS

Which district is CNIC code 341?

341 belongs to Gujranwala District in Punjab, within Gujranwala Division.

Digit 1 (3) is the province, digit 2 (4) the division, and digit 3 (1) the district within that division.

Does a 341 CNIC mean the holder lives in Gujranwala?

No. The regional prefix records where the card was registered with NADRA, not where the holder lives now. People who move, or who register at a family address, keep the original prefix.

It is also not proof of domicile. Domicile is a separate certificate issued by the district administration.

Which tehsils fall under Gujranwala District?

Gujranwala District covers 5 administrative tehsils: Gujranwala City, Gujranwala Sadar, Kamoke, Nowshera Virkan, Wazirabad.

Tehsil boundaries and NADRA's internal registration zones are not the same thing, so the last two digits of a CNIC do not map one-to-one onto this list.

What comes after 341 in a full CNIC?

A complete CNIC is thirteen digits: the five-digit regional prefix, then a seven-digit family/serial number, then a single check digit that also encodes gender (odd for male, even for female).

For Gujranwala, this register documents 1 local-zone code: 34101.

How reliable is the code 341?

341 is a documented anchor code — it appears consistently in public records and published examples, so the district mapping is solid.

NADRA has never released a complete district-to-prefix table, which is why this register marks every entry as either a documented anchor or a derived code.
