PESHAWAR: In a significant step toward digitizing civil registration services, Pakistan’s National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has developed a mobile application that enables citizens to register births, deaths, and changes in marital status online—from the comfort of their homes.
According to an official press release issued Saturday, the app is designed to simplify the process of documenting life events by eliminating the need for in-person visits and lengthy paperwork.
Initially being rolled out in Punjab, the app integrates biometric verification services available in all Union Councils across the province. NADRA plans to extend the service nationwide after the pilot phase.
The move is part of NADRA’s broader digital transformation initiative, aimed at making civil services more accessible and efficient.
The agency also announced that one-window counters are being established in the Union Councils of Islamabad to facilitate seamless access for residents seeking assistance with the registration process.
“This initiative will revolutionize how life events are documented in Pakistan,” said the NADRA spokesperson. “It empowers citizens with convenience, ensures accuracy in national data collection, and strengthens our digital governance framework.”
The launch marks a pivotal milestone for Pakistan’s e-governance efforts and aligns with global trends in digital civil registry systems.
