This register documents 3 five-digit local-zone codes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: 14101, 15601, 17301.

NADRA has never published the complete zone table, so codes outside this list cannot be resolved to a named area.

Does a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CNIC code prove domicile there?

No. The prefix records the place of registration, not residence or domicile. Domicile is a separate certificate issued by the district administration, and moving house does not change the number already printed on a card.
