NADRA to launch Mobile Registration Drive in UK cities

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has officially announced the launch of a Mobile Registration Drive in multiple major UK cities to provide Overseas Pakistanis with easier access to Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) and National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOPs).

This initiative is designed to facilitate the Pakistani diaspora in the United Kingdom by enabling them to apply for new ID cards, renew expired documents, and update their records without having to visit NADRA centers physically.

• Provide convenient CNIC and NICOP services to Pakistanis living in the UK.

• Save time and reduce the travel hassle of visiting NADRA offices.

• Ensure seamless registration and renewal services for Overseas Pakistanis.

• Strengthen NADRA’s services and accessibility for the global Pakistani community.

For years, Overseas Pakistanis in the UK have faced challenges in obtaining or renewing their identification cards due to limited service centers. NADRA’s mobile registration units will now visit cities directly, making the process faster, simpler, and more accessible.

The Mobile Registration Units (MRUs) will provide a wide range of services for Overseas Pakistanis, including:

• Issuance of new CNICs

• Issuance of NICOPs for Overseas Pakistanis

• Renewal of expired CNICs and NICOPs

• Updating personal information, such as address or marital status

• Registration of family members

• Assistance with biometric verification

By providing these services in mobile registration vans, NADRA ensures that Overseas Pakistanis save both time and cost while completing the process without unnecessary delays.

For the Pakistani community in the UK, this initiative is highly significant. With millions of Pakistanis living abroad, many face challenges when it comes to identity documentation.

Here’s why this mobile registration drive matters:

• Convenience: No need to travel long distances to NADRA centers.

• Accessibility: Services are brought closer to communities.

• Faster Processing: Reduced waiting times and quicker document delivery.

• Inclusivity: Makes identity services accessible to elderly citizens and families.

• Digital Transformation: Part of NADRA’s broader digital facilitation initiative for Pakistanis abroad.

This mobile registration drive is part of NADRA’s larger digital transformation strategy, which focuses on streamlining ID services globally.

• Online NICOP and CNIC application portal

• Biometric verification services for overseas Pakistanis

• Integration of smart chip technology in ID cards

• Introduction of mobile apps for tracking application status

By combining mobile registration units with digital services, NADRA aims to provide a complete, hassle-free experience for Pakistanis abroad.

The NADRA Mobile Registration Drive is a game-changer for Overseas Pakistanis living in the UK. By bringing services closer to Pakistani communities, NADRA has ensured greater accessibility, convenience, and efficiency.

Pakistani citizens residing in the UK are encouraged to check NADRA’s official website regularly for venue updates and service details.
