ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Pakistanis residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will now be able to benefit from the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) services at their door-steps.
In a message shared on social media, the authority announced that its mobile registration team, accompanied by officials from the Pakistan Consulate, will visit Ras Al Khaimah.
Pakistani nationals living in Ras Al Khaimah will have an opportunity to apply for new identity documents, as well as request modifications or renewals with ease.
NADRA service timings
The mobile registration service will be available on 15 February 2026 (Sunday), from 8:00am to 4:00pm at the Pakistan Centre in Ras Al Khaimah.
Furthermore, overseas Pakistanis who wish to apply for NICOP or other identity documents, or seek their renewal or amendment, have been suggested to use the Pak-Identity mobile application.
Such applicants may also visit the Pakistani consulates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or approach NADRA offices during visits to Pakistan.
NADRA said that citizens using the Pak-Identity app are not required to stand in queues, as all services and facilities are accessible directly via their mobile phones.
Earlier, the NADRA introduced a new online identity verification system, “Nishan-e-Pakistan”, in line with modern verification process.
The current facility introduced by NADRA would also allow both government institutions and regulated private sector organisations to access secure and authenticated verification services through a single digital portal.
Registration, and subscription procedures will now be completed online, removing the need for lengthy paperwork and repeated approvals.
According to NADRA officials, the new feature will particularly benefit banks, telecom companies and financial institutions, which have long relied on time-consuming manual process to verify customer identities.
The project is part of the government’s Digital Economy Enhancement Project, aimed at strengthening national digital infrastructure and accelerating service delivery across sectors.
