1. Understanding the Pakistani MRZ

Pakistani Machine-Readable Passports (MRP) follow the ICAO standard. The Passport Number (e.g., AB1234567) and CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) Number are distinct. WafidFill accurately extracts both and places them in the correct fields on the Wafid form.

🇵🇰 CNIC vs. Passport No: Ensure you select "Pakistan" as your nationality in the WafidFill settings. The extension will then correctly map the ID number from the MRZ (if present) to the National ID field.

2. Handling Name Splitting (Surname/Given Name)

Wafid.com requires separate "First Name" and "Last Name" fields. The Pakistani passport MRZ often contains the full name in a specific order. WafidFill intelligently parses the name string to place the correct part in the correct field, preventing rejections due to name format errors.

3. Booking for UAE (Dubai/Abu Dhabi)

If you are traveling to the UAE for a work visa medical, you must select "UAE" as the destination in the WafidFill popup before scanning the passport. This ensures the correct form version and data mapping are applied.

✅ Agency Tip: For travel agents in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad processing high volumes: Enable "Auto-submit" and "Auto-pay" for a completely hands-free experience.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (Pakistan)

Q: Does it work for the new e-Passport?

A: Yes. The MRZ on the new Pakistani e-Passport is fully supported.

Q: The form asks for "Place of Issue". Where is that filled?

A: You can set a default "Place of Issue" (e.g., "DGIP Islamabad") in the WafidFill Settings tab. It will auto-fill this field every time.

Q: What about the Protectorate of Emigrants stamp?

A: WafidFill handles the online form only. The physical stamp process is separate, but having the online form error-free speeds up the overall process.
