Only one member of an applicant family whose cell number is issued on his personal Computerised National Identity Card can enrol his family either through 8171 SMS service or the web-portal.

For registration, the member of a family can SMS his/her CNIC number to 8171.

Kiryana shopkeepers will only be able to register through the web-portal: https://ehsaasrashan.pass.gov.pk/.
