Online application for NICOP and POC

Saadia, I’ve not gotten ours yet and I submitted a day before you! This is sheer discrimination between viennian people and US’ian people

paki, POC doesn’t make you a dual citizenship holder–I could have opted for dual citizenship but I didn’t go for it. To me POC was good enough which basically give you right to travel to Pakistan without having to obtain the visa and buy property etc but I DO NOT THINK it gives one right to vote in Pakistani elections.

I think if you apply for NICOP then you hold dual citizenship.

POC = Pakistan Origin Card – card that gives you privilege based on you being originally from Pakistan (by birth, ie)

NICOP = National ID Card for Overseas Pakistanis

NICOP gives you rights to vote.
