Every CNIC district code

This register lists 135 three-digit district codes across Pakistan's seven prefix regions, plus 23 documented five-digit local-zone codes.

The count changes as districts are created or split. Codes already printed on cards do not change when that happens, so older cards can carry prefixes that no longer match today's district map.

No complete district-to-prefix table has ever been published by NADRA. The province digit is officially documented and definitive; the division and district digits follow a consistent scheme that can be reconstructed from public records.

Codes marked Documented in the tables above appear consistently in published examples. Codes marked Derived follow the scheme and community lists and should be treated as a strong indication rather than a guarantee.

They identify a local registration zone inside the district, roughly at union-council level. NADRA has not published this table, so only a small number of these zones can be named with confidence.

Where this register can name one, it appears on the relevant district page as a documented local zone.

No. The prefix identifies the district a card was registered in — nothing narrower, and nothing about the current holder. It is not an address, not a domicile certificate, and not a way to identify an individual.
