ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) will be deploying mobile registration vans to far-flung areas across the country from tomorrow (Monday).
The move is an effort to facilitate citizens by deploying mobile registration vans to far-flung areas of the country.
These mobile vans are scheduled to visit remote regions from April 6 to April 11.
The initiative aims to provide essential registration services to residents who live far from NADRA centres.
To find the specific schedule and the van locations, one can visit the official NADRA website: https://www.nadra.gov.pk/mobile-registration-vans-schedule/
The National Database and Registration Authority has been given enhanced powers to regulate identity documents and strengthen national security mechanisms.
NADRA granted stronger regulatory powers
Under a proposed amendment to the law, the National Database and Registration Authority will be authorized to block any Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) for a period of up to 60 days.
According to officials from the Interior Ministry, identity cards are highly sensitive documents linked directly to national security and economic stability.
Any misuse, they warned, could pose serious threats, making it essential to grant NADRA stronger regulatory powers.
With the proposed changes, NADRA will be able to act more decisively in cases involving suspicious or fraudulent identity records.
Earlier, the NADRA expanded access to its selected services by extending them to an additional 1,000 e-Sahulat franchises across Pakistan.
According to a NADRA spokesperson, citizens can now avail these services at around 3,000 e-Sahulat centres nationwide.
The facilities include issuance of B-Forms for children up to the age of 10, renewal of national identity cards, obtaining duplicate cards in case of loss, and cancellation of identity cards of deceased family members.
