Online System for Vehicles and Mobile Registration
The Ministry of Interior's National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) functions as an independent organization. In order to efficiently control issues relating to the registration and updating of the database of Pakistani nationals, it was established in the year 2000. NADRA has successfully expanded its network in a number of directions. Let's learn more about the most recent changes to the NADRA system.
Since NADRA's founding, ongoing system upgrades have been made to increase data security and streamline the process of maintaining sensitive information in the National Database, which is periodically updated. Let's look at the most recent changes made to the NADRA system by the authorities to enhance the current National Database Registration System.
The NADRA Biker Service ESTABLISHED FOR APPLICANTS' CONVENIENCE
NADRA's operations have been impacted nationwide, but particularly in Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan, as a result of the recent floods. Many people have misplaced crucial papers, including CNICs. Recently, the NADRA chairman informed the interior minister during a visit to the organization's headquarters.
The NADRA has developed the biker service to make it easier for the afflicted individuals to reapply for their lost CNICs as well as to offer doorstep services to other applicants. The NADRA biker service would initially only be offered in the twin cities, according to a news article that appeared in a prestigious English daily. By the end of this year, there are plans to spread the network of NADRA cyclists to more regions of the nation.
Women will receive a different service since female NADRA riders will take care of them. It would be like having a mobile NADRA center come to your house to assist you in filling out CNIC applications. This service's main goal is to assist you in avoiding the wait and controlling the daily foot traffic at NADRA centers across the nation.
CNICS ARE BEING TRANSFORMED BY NADRA INTO DIGITAL WALLETS
NADRA is now developing another another ground-breaking digital project to benefit the general public. The authority intends to make digital wallets out of Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs). The government's Digital Pakistan Campaign would include the introduction of digital wallets based on CNIC.
Additionally, NADRA is working to enhance its Pak Identity web portal and mobile application.
The upgraded versions of Pak Identity's web portal and mobile application, which NADRA is also striving to improve, are anticipated to go live later this year. The soon-to-be released digital wallet service will be integrated with the Pak Identity mobile application, which runs on both iOS and Android devices.
The app's users will be able to conduct financial transactions using the digital IDs they have created with the NADRA. It would be a completely secure digital payment system with cutting-edge security features including biometric identification, according to Tariq Malik, CEO of NADRA.
'CONTACTLESS' BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION SYSTEM, RECENTLY RELEASED
NADRA has launched a cutting-edge digital service at the State Bank of Pakistan's (SBP) request, allowing the nation's banking industry to now utilize the "contactless" biometric verification technology.
One of the first nations in the world to use remote biometric verification technologies on a countrywide scale is currently Pakistan. All of the country's commercial banks will soon implement a unique feature in their mobile apps that will enable them to remotely collect and verify the biometrics of their current and future account holders from any location.
In a statement about the recently introduced contactless biometric verification system, NADRA Chairman Tariq Malik said, "This new technology makes contactless fingerprint acquisition and matching using a smart mobile phone possible, providing an alternative to conventional methods of conducting digital financial transactions that may require specialized equipment or visits to bank branches."
THE MOBILE APP PAK-ID
For its completely integrated web portal called Pak-Identity, NADRA has also released a mobile app. The Pak-ID mobile app gives the NADRA customer base even more convenience. It makes it simple for locals and Pakistanis living abroad (including those already living there) to scan and upload the necessary paperwork, including photos.
This app's ground-breaking capability allows users to update the NADRA database by taking a photo of their fingerprints with their smartphones' cameras and uploading them. Read our comprehensive guide to the Pak-ID mobile application to find out more information.
NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD WITH COMPUTERIZATION
The introduction of Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) was a major accomplishment for NADRA in the first year following its establishment. Previously, the antiquated database system was in operation; it was first established in the 1970s, approximately forty years ago. Compared to the current, digital system that has been announced in the last few years, it was inefficient and less secure. The Computerized National Identity Card, or CNIC for short, made it possible to gather and validate nearly all of the crucial data pertaining to Pakistani individuals over the age of 18.
CHIP-BASED CNICS ISSUANCE IS NOT LESS THAN A REVOLUTION
The addition of cutting-edge chips to the National Identity Card is one of the most amazing recent enhancements to the NADRA system. All of your private information that appears on your CNIC and has been entered into the National Database is encrypted digitally stored on this chip. Since all of the data on Pakistani individuals is linked with this system, the cutting-edge phenomenon of biometric verification has also been included into the digitized National Database Registration System.
Without requiring you to carry your CNIC with you everywhere, biometric verification enables a specific technology to identify you as a citizen of this nation. The National Database will continue to be digitally transformed in this manner until all Pakistani citizens have had their private information digitally registered and biometrically validated.
The NADRA Mega Center
The establishment of not just one, but two mega centers in Karachi is one of the most significant most recent improvements to the NADRA system in recent years. These Mega Centers defy the norms of NADRA offices' typical business hours, which are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The NADRA Mega Centers in Karachi are a blessing because they are open 24/7, especially for persons from the working class. You can easily visit NADRA Mega Centres in Karachi on a Saturday or a Sunday, early in the morning or late at night, to have your application submitted and processed with the help of their staff members working three shifts.

Vehicle for mobile registration (S)
The addition of mobile registration vehicles is one of the most important recent changes to the NADRA system. It is intended to help those who reside in rural areas of the nation or are unable to travel because of a variety of medical concerns. The Pakistani Information Ministry unveiled NADRA Mobile Registration vehicles last year, which are based on a fleet of vans and sedans. However, NADRA Mobile Registration Cars should only be utilized in places where vans can no longer pass through.
All of these NADRA vehicles are outfitted with the tools necessary for the registration and updating of private data in the National Database. In order to efficiently register Pakistani individuals, NADRA mobile registration vehicles interact with the public and collect valuable information from them.
THE EXISTENCE OF AN ONLINE COMPLAINTS SYSTEM
Now that a digital system has been implemented, citizens of Pakistan can complain online about delays and other problems that may arise when receiving their Smart CNICs. These online transactions appear to be not only easy but also quick. By visiting the official NADRA website, it is also possible to monitor the progress of a complaint online.
Pakistanis previously had to wait in long lines to register or update their sensitive information through the National Database Registration System; these upgrades have significantly increased convenience for them.
