ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has rolled out a new biometric verification feature on its Pak ID mobile app, aiming to protect citizens’ information and prevent identity theft.
The feature will help bolster security for overseas Pakistanis, particularly those living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
According to NADRA, the app, which enables users to apply for a range of identity documents, including the Smart National ID Card for Overseas Pakistanis, will now require biometric verification when logging in from a new device.
“This new security feature is designed to protect citizens’ information and prevent unauthorised access, identity theft, and misuse of Pak ID accounts,” the NADRA said.
