The BISP Re-Verification drive for pre-registered women continues this October 2025 to confirm identities and household details so cash support reaches eligible families. Completing re-verification quickly prevents payment delays or suspension and helps update the national registry for fairer distribution.
Why re-verification matters
Re-verification refreshes the NSER database, removes duplicate or ineligible records, and frees space for newly deserving households. This step protects the programme’s integrity and ensures Kafaalat funds are sent only to verified beneficiaries — a priority as millions depend on these quarterly transfers.
Who must complete re-verification
You must re-verify if you are a current beneficiary, a pre-registered woman with an expiring CNIC, anyone who changed their registered mobile or bank details, or a newly added household yet to confirm identity. Widows and households with major data changes must appear in person.
Two official ways to verify — SMS or in-person
The government offers a fast SMS option for remote users and an in-person route at local Tehsil Offices for cases needing document checks or biometric verification. Use SMS for quick confirmations; visit a Tehsil Office when CNICs are expired or family records require updates.
SMS-based re-verification (fast & simple)
Send your 13-digit CNIC (no dashes) from your registered SIM to 8171. You’ll receive an immediate reply telling you whether re-verification is required and, if needed, guidance on the next steps. SMS is ideal for women in rural areas who cannot travel easily.
Quick SMS steps (example):
Open SMS app → Type 4210112345678 (your CNIC).
Send to 8171.
Wait for reply: “Verified”, “Re-verification required” or instructions.
Save the SMS as proof for future reference.
In-person re-verification at Tehsil Office
If your CNIC is expired, your address changed, or family composition needs proof, visit the nearest BISP Tehsil Office. Bring originals so officers can update NSER records, record biometrics if needed, and give you an official receipt confirming the update.
Required documents — bring originals when you visit
Before going to the office, gather the right papers to avoid extra trips: Original CNIC, a photocopy of the CNIC, registered mobile number proof, proof of address (if changed), B-forms for children, and for widows a husband’s death certificate. These documents speed verification and prevent payment interruption.
| Document | Purpose |
| Original CNIC | Identity & biometric checks |
| CNIC copy | Office record keeping |
| Registered mobile number | 8171 SMS & OTPs |
| Proof of address | Update residential data |
| B-Forms / death certificate | Dependent & marital status updates |
Practical step-by-step checklist (one trip ready)
Send CNIC to 8171 and note the reply. 2) If “re-verification required,” collect originals and photocopies. 3) Visit Tehsil Office during off-peak hours. 4) Ask for a receipt after update. 5) Recheck status via SMS or portal after 48–72 hours.
Consequences of skipping re-verification
Failing to verify can pause your quarterly Kafaalat payment or remove your record from the beneficiary list, causing long delays and extra paperwork to reinstate support. Act within the announced window to protect your Rs. 13,500 entitlement and avoid months of disruption.
How to confirm your updated status online or by SMS
After updating documents, confirm status by: (a) sending your CNIC to 8171 again, (b) visiting the 8171 web portal and entering your 13-digit CNIC plus captcha, or (c) asking Tehsil staff for an update receipt. Keep screenshots or SMS replies as proof.
Government support and facilitation for women beneficiaries
To ease verification, authorities have set up female help desks, extended hours at selected Tehsil Offices, mobile verification camps and outreach campaigns in media. These measures aim to make the process accessible for women who have previously faced mobility or documentation barriers.
FAQs — quick answers for pre-registered women
Q1: What is the deadline for October 2025 re-verification?
A1: Beneficiaries should complete re-verification within the published October window to avoid missing the next installment; check the 8171 reply or local office for exact dates.
Q2: Can I use SMS if my CNIC is expired?
A2: SMS helps indicate status, but if your CNIC is expired you must visit the Tehsil Office with a CNIC renewal slip or NADRA proof to complete re-verification.
Q3: What if my SMS reply says “Pending”?
A3: Wait 48–72 hours and re-check. If status remains pending, visit the Tehsil Office with documents and the original SMS as evidence.
Q4: Will biometric mismatch stop my payment?
A4: A mismatch may delay collection at ATMs, but banks can issue PayPak cards or perform secondary checks so you can withdraw funds after identity confirmation. Bring originals to the bank or Tehsil Office.
Q5: How long until payments resume after verification?
A5: Once records are updated, payments normally process within the next disbursement phase (few days to weeks); continue checking 8171 and keep the office receipt safe.
