by
NADRA

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Ministry of Interior has decided to launch a new National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) mobile app and establish three new regional offices in Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Gwadar, and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that the Pak ID website will be closed on January 17 and all services will be provided on the mobile app. Citizens, especially overseas Pakistanis, were facing difficulties in using the website.

The decision comes as a response to challenges faced by citizens, particularly overseas Pakistanis, who struggled with the website’s interface, including issues with scanning and uploading fingerprints and documents. The closure of the website is also aimed at combating fraudulent activities.

“Scammers were exploiting fake websites to assist in creating forged identity documents and misusing citizens’ personal information,” said Minister Naqvi.

To enhance user convenience, NADRA has revamped its mobile app to include all services previously available on the website. Citizens can now apply for ID cards, NICOP, POC, B-Forms, and FRCs from their homes.

In addition to digital advancements, three new regional offices will become operational by March 31. These offices aim to improve service delivery in remote areas, streamline communication between citizens and NADRA officials, and ensure faster resolution of complaints.

Minister Naqvi also revealed that NADRA is on track to establish offices in all tehsils across Pakistan by the same deadline. “Only 19 tehsils remain without NADRA offices, and work is progressing rapidly to ensure these are operational by March 31,” he added.

Interior Ministry introduces biometric B-forms for children

by
Interior Ministry

ISLAMABAD: The ministry of Interior, on directives of Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, has announced the introduction of a new B-Form equipped with advanced security features for children aged 10 and above.

This initiative aims to enhance identity verification and curb crimes such as identity theft, human trafficking, and illegal passport acquisition.

The new B-Form will now include mandatory fingerprint impressions and photographs of children in the specified age group.

According to officials, the phased rollout of these enhanced B-Forms will commence on January 15, 2025.

Speaking on the development, Minister Mohsin Naqvi said, “These measures will prevent the misuse of children’s identity information and strengthen our national identification system. I commend NADRA and the Passport Department for their swift action in implementing these reforms.”

In the first phase, children between the ages of 10 and 18 will need to visit NADRA centers, accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, to provide their fingerprints and photographs.

Guardians must also present their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) and the child’s computerized birth certificate issued by the Union Council or Town Committee.

Once the process is completed, NADRA will issue a new B-Form featuring the child’s photograph and biometric details. The updated document will be a prerequisite for obtaining a new passport for children in this age group.

The Ministry of Interior spokesperson confirmed that the old B-Form, which lacks biometric details, will no longer be accepted for children over 10 years old. Additionally, further reforms, such as integrating iris scans and enhancing services through the Pak-ID Mobile App, are planned for future phases.
