Is it necessary to carry original CNIC and driving license?

[ammarzubair]

Living in karachi. You always have a risk of being stopped by Police whether traffic or otherwise while also living with the risk of losing your wallet whether it being an armed robbery or pickpockets. Last time I lost my wallet I got my new license pretty easily but OMG was getting CNIC remade a pain in the behind.

so the question arises is it necessary to carry original CNIC and License or is color copy with lamination good enough for generally roaming around the city?

Cause police make up a lot of shit just to get a little cash out of you. I have seen people enter government building enter on basis of color copy CNIC and i have seen traffic police call my legit license a fake one.

So what is actually true. Am i legally obliged to carry original cause if not I'd rather keep the original at home so I don't have to go through hell to get those remade if i lose them.

I carry original cards.
I keep my money outside my wallet in a different pocket.

But most of the times I dont carry my wallet. Cards in one pocket and money in other.

I use my front jeans pocket or front pocket (with button) on my shirt.

I never carried my original cards in karachi. Also got mugged once too thankfully didn't lose anything valuable. So it's a pretty common practice

I think legally you're supposed to have your CNIC with you at all times, due to the security situation in the country.
Not sure about driving license. When ever i visit a busy place, i always keep my wallet in jeans front pocket,
and frequently check it and the mobile over jeans pockets.

I don't need to carry either CNIC or driving license with me though.
My job has some perks in cases like these.

As a citizen, you should carry your original document. But the scenario in Karachi makes it a bit different. When there is a security issue, just carry it on those days. Rest you can get a duplicate photocarded document attested for your use, which can work for some reason.
