National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched a new service in Karachi city, aimed at providing great convenience to citizens.
According to officials, this initiative is designed to save residents the hassle of long waits and queues.
The new service will begin on Monday and will allow citizens to benefit from the issuance and renewal of national identity cards, among other services, Express News reported.
Officials stated that initially, three riders will operate in Karachi, while Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas will each have one bike for service. Ten additional bikes will be added to NADRA’s fleet of motorcyclists in the coming days.
Regarding the service, officials explained that representatives will be equipped with backpacks containing the required processing equipment. Citizens opting for home delivery will be charged an additional fee of Rs 1,000, which includes Rs 825 for the service and Rs 175 as delivery charges.
Previously, NADRA decided to close its website and launch a mobile application.
Federal Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi announced during a workshop that NADRA’s Pak ID website will be closed and all services will be provided through the mobile application. Fraudulent elements helped create fake identification documents through fake websites, obtain personal information of citizens and attempt to misuse it.
A few weeks ago, 4-hour passport counters were set up at NADRA Mega Centers across the country.
Pursuant to the orders of Federal Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi, the Passport Department has established 10 passport processing counters at NADRA Mega Centers in Nazimabad and Karachi site areas, specifically at Siemens Chowrangi. Citizens can now use the services at these counters 24 hours a day.
