The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced a convenient new service allowing citizens to renew their CNICs from home using the Pak ID Mobile App.
With this app, users can upload necessary documents, take a photo, and complete the application process without visiting a NADRA office. Once approved, the new ID card is delivered straight to the applicant’s doorstep.
Officials have stated that the app is a “user-friendly tool designed to streamline the identity renewal process and reduce public footfall at NADRA centers.” This move is part of NADRA’s broader goal to digitize public services and offer faster, citizen-friendly solutions.
