In order to improve convenience, the biometric verification process has also been improved. Legal heirs can now complete the biometric process either in their nearest designated Nadra center, or remotely via the PAK ID mobile application.
Previously, the candidates had to file certificates of succession in the province where the inherited property was located, which created challenges for the heirs living in other provinces. While Nadra had previously introduced a mobile biometric verification, requests were still to be submitted in the province where the property was.
With the new initiative, Nadra has removed this restriction, allowing citizens to start and finish the process of anywhere in Pakistan. A nadra spokesperson has confirmed that official notifications had been sent to all Nadra centers with SFUS to ensure that citizens can access the nearest location.
