How long it takes
Typically 10–15 working days.
Timelines are typical, not guaranteed. Government processing times vary, and a query from the officer adds to them. We will tell you where yours stands.
Common questions
Does the CIN change?
No. The CIN stays the same; only the name changes, and the old name must appear alongside the new one on documents for two years.
