In this episode of Dear Body, we explore the CNIC not just as a card, but as a body pass. Imagine an object that mediates your ability to move, transact, and belong in Pakistan.

Through the story of Amin Khan, a resident of Islamabad whose ID was blocked, we trace the effects of administrative suspension on daily life. What happens when recognition is conditional, and existence is validated only through a system?

We look beyond policy and bureaucracy, reflecting on bodies, identity, and the stakes of being “seen” in modern life.
