It is important to Have a Child’s NICOP?
Having a child’s NICOP is significant because, even if they reside outside of Pakistan, it demonstrates who they are and their nationality. They can go to Pakistan, get government assistance, and attend school there with the help of this special card. It is also beneficial if they have significant tasks to do in Pakistan, such as property ownership or legal problems in the future. Thus, a child’s NICOP is beneficial for several reasons.
Processing Time:
It depends on the application type you choose. This means that you will receive your NICOP according to that. For example, the NICOP typically takes 31 business days to process. You will receive your NICOP within 31 days if you choose this kind with the case officer’s approval. If you choose the second option, your NICOP will be sent to you 23 working days after your application is submitted. If you select this option, your NICOP will be sent to you in 23 days. If, on the other hand, you want your NICOP immediately, you may select the third application delivery type, which will send your NICOP to you in 7 to 10 business days.
