In a significant leap towards enhancing citizen convenience, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced the Pak ID mobile app. This innovative platform allows individuals to seamlessly obtain their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) and Family Registration Certificate (FRC) online, eliminating the need for time-consuming visits to physical centers.
The Pak ID mobile app streamlines the application process, offering users the ability to upload photos, undergo fingerprints verification, and make online payments with ease. This modern approach not only simplifies procedures but also ensures the swift and secure processing of identity documents. NADRA spokesperson highlights that the app extends its services to overseas Pakistanis, enabling them to acquire CNICs online as well.
One of the key advantages of the Pak ID app is its capability to deliver the requested ID documents directly to the applicant’s doorstep, sparing them from enduring long queues at registration centers. This move aligns with NADRA’s commitment to providing efficient and citizen-friendly services, embracing the digital era.
The NADRA smart card, embedded with a chip for enhanced data security and biometric verification, plays a crucial role in this streamlined process. The updated fee structure for various services, including new Smart NICs, modifications, renewals, and cancellations, reflects NADRA’s efforts to balance accessibility with the costs associated with document issuance.
