The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced a convenient way for citizens to update their identity card details from home. Citizens can now change their photograph and permanent address through the Pak ID mobile application.
The facility aims to make identity card services easier and reduce the need for physical visits. Applicants can complete the process through the app by following the required steps.
According to a statement issued by NADRA, users must first log in to the Pak ID application. They should then select the identity card option available on the home screen.
Applicants submitting requests for their own CNIC should select the option for themselves. Those applying on behalf of a blood relative must choose the relevant family-member option.
After selecting the appropriate category, users need to choose the card renewal option. They can then update the required information and complete the application process.
Applicants should review their details carefully before submitting the request. They must also follow any additional instructions displayed in the application.
NADRA Expands Digital Identity Card Services
NADRA has also expanded its digital identity card facilities through the Pak ID application. Citizens can now obtain, save, and share digital identity cards for their spouses and eligible children.
The feature allows users to access multiple family members’ digital identity documents alongside their own. It also provides a more convenient way to keep these records available when needed.
The authority has introduced additional options for checking certain identity-related documents. Users who need to verify a Child Registration Certificate, commonly known as a B-Form, can use the app’s QR code scanning feature.
The same facility can be used to verify a CNIC cancellation certificate. Users can scan the relevant digital QR code to view the verified information.
These features are intended to make document verification more accessible through digital services. They may also help users check identity records without relying entirely on traditional verification methods.
Pak ID App Adds Biometric Verification for Pilgrims
The latest version of the Pak ID application also supports biometric verification for certain vaccination requirements. These include influenza and meningitis vaccinations required for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
The addition provides another digital facility for people preparing to perform the religious pilgrimages. Applicants can use the updated application to complete the relevant biometric verification process.
The development reflects NADRA’s broader efforts to expand its digital identity services. By adding more functions to the Pak ID application, the authority aims to make several public services easier to access.
What Citizens Should Know
Citizens seeking to update their CNIC photograph or permanent address can begin by accessing the Pak ID mobile application. They should select the correct application category and follow the instructions provided.
Users can also explore the available digital identity card and document verification features. The latest version includes additional biometric verification support for eligible Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
These changes give citizens more options for managing identity-related services through their mobile devices. However, applicants should ensure that their information is accurate and complete before submitting requests.
With these updates, NADRA continues to expand the range of services available through its digital platform. The new facilities offer citizens a more accessible way to manage identity documents and complete selected verification procedures.
