What 452 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 452 was registered in Sanghar District, Sindh, in Mirpurkhas Division.
Reading it left to right: 4 is the province digit and is definitive — 4 always means Sindh. 5 selects the division inside that province, here Mirpurkhas Division. 2 selects the district inside that division, which gives us Sanghar. The two digits that follow — positions four and five — narrow it further to a local registration zone inside the district.
TEHSILS OF SANGHAR
Sanghar District is divided into 6 administrative tehsils. NADRA’s internal registration zones do not map one-to-one onto tehsil boundaries, so treat this as the administrative picture rather than a decoder for digits four and five.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Which district is CNIC code 452?
452 belongs to Sanghar District in Sindh, within Mirpurkhas Division.
Digit 1 (4) is the province, digit 2 (5) the division, and digit 3 (2) the district within that division.
Does a 452 CNIC mean the holder lives in Sanghar?
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 Sanghar District?
Sanghar District covers 6 administrative tehsils: Sanghar, Tando Adam, Shahdadpur, Khipro, Sinjhoro, Jam Nawaz Ali.
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 452 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).
NADRA has never published the full list of local-zone codes, so the last two digits of the prefix cannot be resolved to a named area for this district.
How reliable is the code 452?
452 is reconstructed from the standard coding scheme and community lists rather than an official published table. The province digit is definitive; the district mapping should be treated as a strong indication rather than a guarantee.
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.
