NADRA’s Pak ID App to Add Appointment Booking for NRC Visits
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) is rolling out a major feature in its Pak ID mobile app—users will soon be able to book appointments at NADRA Registration Centers (NRCs) directly through the app. This launch aligns with NADRA’s vision of simplifying services under the government’s digital transformation agenda ([turn0search1][turn0search0][turn0search5]).
📌 Phase I Rollout: What to Expect
-
The feature is entering Phase I, covering 43 NRCs nationwide.
-
Major cities included are Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Quetta, plus remote areas like Skardu, Gwadar, Gilgit, Rahim Yar Khan, among others ([turn0search1][turn0search5]).
-
Upcoming centers include NRC Gujrat, major NADRA mega centers in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and centers in Bahawalpur, Sialkot, and more ([turn0search3][turn0search5]).
🛠️ How the Feature Works
Citizens will be able to:
-
Book appointments for CNIC, NICOP, FRC, CRC, and more
-
Check available slots in real time
-
Receive confirmation and avoid long queues
-
Pay fees online using in-app integrations like Easypaisa, JazzCash, or e‑Sahulat ([turn0search3][turn0search5])
The app already supports biometric login and identity services—the appointment tool transforms it into a full-service hub.
✅ Why It Matters
-
Reduces overcrowding at NADRA Centers and speeds up service delivery.
-
Improves citizen experience, eliminating paperwork and wait times.
-
Supports remote regions—beneficial for communities in Gilgit, Skardu, Gawadar, and others.
