The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has warned Pakistanis about fake websites using its name. The warning is especially important for citizens living abroad.
The authority said several unauthorized websites are offering services while pretending to be linked with NADRA. These platforms may look similar to official government websites.
NADRA advised citizens to remain careful when accessing online registration services. Users should verify a website before entering any personal or financial information.
The authority specifically warned people against sharing sensitive details on unauthorized platforms. This includes personal information, passport details, fingerprint data and payment information.
NADRA said several suspicious websites are currently circulating online. Some of these platforms use names linked to services such as NADRA Card Center and NADRA Online Card.
These websites may create confusion among citizens seeking official registration services. People can also risk exposing their sensitive information by using such platforms.
The authority urged citizens to rely only on its official online platforms. Users should avoid websites that misuse the NADRA name, logo or branding.
Citizens have also been advised to check website details carefully before using any service. They should confirm that the platform is officially associated with the authority.
The warning is particularly relevant to overseas Pakistanis. Many citizens abroad use online platforms to access identity and registration services.
NADRA has asked people to remain alert against fraudulent websites. Citizens should not provide information simply because a website appears professional or uses official-looking branding.
The authority also issued advice for people who may have already shared their information. Anyone who submitted personal details to an unauthorized website should immediately report the matter.
They should contact the relevant local cybercrime authorities for assistance. Citizens should also take necessary steps to secure their personal information.
The warning comes as online identity services become increasingly important for Pakistanis. Fraudulent platforms can misuse sensitive information if users fail to verify them.
NADRA has therefore stressed the importance of checking websites before submitting any details. Citizens should use official channels for accessing identity-related services.
