National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has officially introduced Nishan Pakistan (NP) which is a pioneering centralized digital platform that is aimed at transforming identity verification service in the country. This web based portal is a great change compared to ineffective fragmented and manual procedures to a smooth and secured digital infrastructure.
NADRA Modernizing Identity Verification
Prior to Nishan Pakistan, government institutions and privately operated organizations had to undergo long and bureaucratic hurdles before accessing the services of identity verification. The procedure also used to include redundant sanctions and segregated entry methods.
Nishan Pakistan replaces these outdated systems with a centralized gateway. It allows authorized government entities and private sector organizations to onboard easily and verify identities in real-time, significantly reducing administrative delays and operational costs.
