Re-Register Now to Keep Receiving BISP Payments
The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has launched a fresh re-registration drive in July 2025 for low-income families across Pakistan. This step is important for those who have received a message from 8171 asking them to verify their CNIC, update household details, or re-confirm eligibility.
If you rely on this support for buying groceries, paying utility bills, or sending your kids to school, this guide will help you check your status, re-register, and avoid payment issues.
Why CNIC Re-Verification Matters
Your CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) is your identity in the BISP system. If it is expired, not updated, or contains incorrect details, you may be marked ineligible or face delays in receiving payments.
Re-registration helps the BISP team:
-
Remove fake or outdated entries
-
Add new eligible families
-
Update household information like new births, deaths, income changes, or relocation
If you received an SMS from 8171 or missed your last payment cycle, you must act quickly.
Who Needs to Re-Register?
You are required to re-register in July 2025 if:
-
You got an official message from 8171 saying “Verification Required”
-
Your CNIC is expired or not updated in NADRA
-
You have not received BISP payments in recent months
-
There’s a change in your family (marriage, new child, relocation, or loss of income)
-
You missed a previous BISP or NSER survey
-
You are applying for the first time
If you’re already receiving payments without any issue, you likely don’t need to visit an office — but it’s wise to check your status once.
How to Check Your CNIC Status
Before heading to a BISP office, first check whether you need to re-register:
SMS Method:
-
Type your 13-digit CNIC number in a new SMS
-
Send it to 8171
-
Wait for a reply confirming your current status
Online Method:
-
Visit 8171.bisp.gov.pk
-
Enter your CNIC and the security code shown
-
The system will tell you if you’re eligible, under review, or need re-registration
Documents Required for BISP Re-Registration
If the system asks for re-verification, take these documents to your nearest BISP Tehsil Office:
-
Valid CNIC (must not be expired)
-
Registered mobile number (linked to your CNIC)
-
Latest utility bill (electricity/gas for address verification)
-
B-Form for children (if applying for education support)
-
Any document showing your income or unemployment
Bring original documents — photocopies alone will not be accepted.
Steps to Re-Register for 8171 BISP
-
Visit your nearest Tehsil BISP Office between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM (Mon–Fri)
-
Show your original CNIC and other documents
-
Complete the biometric verification using your fingerprints
-
Answer questions about your family, income, and residence
-
Receive a confirmation slip or SMS (in 7–10 working days)
How to Collect Your Payment After Re-Registration
Once your re-registration is approved:
-
You’ll receive an SMS from 8171 or your partner bank
-
Withdraw money from HBL or Bank Alfalah ATMs using your CNIC
-
Or collect from JazzCash, Bank of Punjab, or HBL Konnect agents
-
Payments can also be disbursed through BISP camps in certain areas
Your payment remains safe — but don’t delay collecting it once it’s available.
