How it is actually submitted

After payment and identity checks, an official captures the photograph and issues the token; fingerprints and data entry follow. No generic-size supplied photograph is used in that in-person flow.

How to prepare

Attend with the relevant CNIC, Smart Card, NICOP or child document and follow the capture-counter directions. Check the details printed on the token immediately.

Common rejection reasons

  • Trying to replace official capture with a printed photo
  • Not presenting the original identity document
  • Failing to check errors on the issued token
  • Covered face during capture

We check the requirements for you

You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
