NADRA unveils biker service to facilitate citizens in Karachi

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced a new service in  Karachi to provide significant convenience to citizens.

According to officials, the initiative is designed to save citizens from the hassle of long waits and queues.

The new service will start from Monday, which will enable citizens to benefit from the issuance and renewal of national identity cards, among other services.

They said that initially, three bikers will function in Karachi, while Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas will have one bike each for the service. An additional 10 bikers will be added to the NADRA biker fleet in the coming days.

They further explained, regarding the service, that representatives will be equipped with backpacks carrying the required processing equipment. Citizens opting for at-home service will be charged an additional fee of Rs1,000, which includes Rs825 for the service and Rs175 as delivery charges.

Earlier, NADRA had decided to shut down its website and launch a mobile app instead.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has announced during a workshop that NADRA’s Pak ID website will be closed, and all services will be provided through the mobile app.

Fraudulent elements helped in creating fake identification documents via fake websites, obtaining citizens’ personal information, and attempting to misuse it.
