CNIC Number Details by Province and Division in Pakistan

The 13-digit CNIC number is entirely different for every Pakistani. The number has three parts. The first part, which comprises five digits i.e. '12101', has its first digit '1' identifying the province or administrative unit of Pakistan. People whose CNIC number starts with 1, are residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, similarly, 2 represents FATA, 3 for Punjab, 4 for Sindh, 5 represents Balochistan, 6 for Islamabad and 7 represents Gilgit-Baltistan. The second digit in the CNIC number shows the division, which means every a digit identifies a different division in a province, while the rest of the three digit represent the district, tehsil and union council. The second and middle part of the CNIC number, which consists of seven digits separated by hyphens i.e. XXXXX-1234567-X, is basically a code for the family number of a citizen. This code forms the family tree of a citizen. The third part following a hyphen (last digit), represents sex of a person. For a man, odd digits i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are used, while even digits i.e. 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 are used for women.
