Karachi:
The national database and the registration authority has announced its intention to increase the number of recording counters in Karachi from the current 359 to 550 by the end of the current financial year, in a decision to facilitate citizens and improve the provision of services.
According to Nadra officials, existing meters are operational in various mega and national registration centers throughout the city. As part of a wider effort to digitize and modernize its services, Nadra should also introduce a range of new online facilities.
Among the most important, there is the launch of an online “proof of life” functionality via the Pak Identity mobile application, designed mainly to facilitate retirees, in particular those facing challenges in the verification of fingerprints due to age or health problems.

Talk to The Express PK Press ClubNadra’s media director Syed Shabahat Ali said that new feature would provide a long -term solution to the elderly who encountered biometric or technical difficulties.
He also revealed that arrangements are made to allow family members of the family, such as a son or daughter, to help older users complete the digital verification process.
Ali has urged citizens to ensure that all important events, such as births, marriages, matrimonial state changes and deaths, are duly recorded with their respective union advice, because these constitute the basis of the precise data of the Nadra digital system.
Nadra has launched the local manufacturing of ATM style self-service kiosks to facilitate the renewals of identity cards and other registration services without the need for interaction in person.
Initially, the kiosks will be installed in the centers of Karachi Mega, followed by a wider deployment in airports, stations, shopping centers and other public spaces.
