NSER Biometric & CNIC Update – Full Guide for 2025
If you’re part of the BISP or Ehsaas program, it’s important to keep your NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) data updated. This includes your CNIC and biometric verification. Without it, your support payments may be stopped.
📌 What is NSER?
The NSER database helps the Government of Pakistan decide who should receive financial aid. It records:
- Your CNIC number
- Household income
- Family size
- Education level
- Biometric data (fingerprints)
If your information is old or incorrect, you may not qualify for payments anymore.
✅ Why CNIC & Biometric Update is Needed
Many beneficiaries get removed from the program because:
- Their CNIC is expired or unverified
- Their fingerprints don’t match
- They changed address or income, and didn’t update the record
So, updating both CNIC and biometric info in the NSER system is a must.
🖥️ How to Update NSER & CNIC Information
Step 1: Visit the Nearest BISP or NADRA Office
Take these documents with you:
- Original CNIC
- CNIC photocopy
- Any documents showing change of income, address, or family size
Step 2: Fill Out NSER Update Form
At the office:
- Ask for the NSER dynamic survey form
- Fill in correct, updated details
Step 3: Biometric Verification
A staff member will take your fingerprints and/or facial scan.
Tips:
- Make sure your hands are clean
- If one finger doesn’t work, try another
Step 4: Wait for Confirmation
The data will be updated in 2–4 weeks. You will receive an SMS if your update is successful.
