Pakistan's CNIC: cannot exit Islam

Pakistan has a national identity card (CNIC - Computerized National Identity Card).

A checklist for applicants for the card, or for those who have a card but need to make changes, is available here from a Govt. of Pakistan website.  (PDF)

For a modification in CNIC, due to change in religion, there is a note:
Note: Change of religion from ISLAM to any other religion will not be entertained.
