The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued a clarification after Pakistani actress Naeema Butt shared a screenshot of an alleged online death certificate request page on social media. The authority stated that the page shown in the viral post is not linked to any of its official services or digital platforms.
The issue gained attention after Naeema Butt posted a screenshot that appeared to display an online application form for a death certificate. The image included a button labeled “Myself,” which quickly caught the attention of social media users.
Reacting to the wording, Naeema Butt made a lighthearted remark on social media. She joked, “That’s for people who are dead from inside and walking alive.” Her humorous comment quickly spread online, with many users sharing and discussing the screenshot.
Following the viral post, NADRA released an official statement to address the matter. The authority clarified that the data entry page shown in the screenshot was not connected to any of its official systems, websites, or online services.
According to NADRA, the screenshot did not originate from its digital infrastructure. The authority rejected attempts to associate the alleged portal with its operations, describing such claims as misleading and unacceptable.
NADRA urged the public to verify any information related to its services before sharing it online. The authority emphasized that only information published through its official communication channels should be considered authentic.
Officials also advised social media users to avoid circulating unverified screenshots, fabricated webpages, or misleading content. They stressed that false information can create unnecessary confusion among citizens seeking government services.
The authority further warned that the spread of false or misleading information about NADRA could result in legal or regulatory action under applicable laws. It reminded the public that sharing inaccurate claims may have legal consequences.
The clarification highlights the growing challenge of misinformation on social media platforms. Viral posts and screenshots can spread rapidly, making it important for users to confirm the authenticity of online content before reposting it.
While Naeema Butt’s post was intended as a humorous observation, the incident prompted an official response because many users mistakenly believed the screenshot represented a genuine NADRA service.
NADRA reiterated that it remains committed to providing secure and reliable digital services for citizens. It encouraged people to visit its official website and verified social media accounts for accurate information regarding registration, identity documents, and other public services.
