NADRA introduces new service long requested by citizens

ISLAMABAD: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced a new digital facility for citizens.

The citizens can now allow to complete biometric verification for the sale and purchase of Islamabad-registered vehicles via the Pak ID mobile application.

The move shifts the process from physical verification to online verification. Earlier, a citizen had to visit the NADRA office and wait in a queue for his or her turn for hours.

The new system enables citizens to conduct biometric checks from their homes and then attend to the remaining formalities of the transfer at the concerned government office.

Earlier, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) requested all residents to erase computerized national identity cards (CNICs) for dead family members.
