The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has officially rolled out a major update for its highly popular Pak ID mobile application. The latest version introduces two groundbreaking features designed to streamline digital identity verification and significantly simplify the visa application process.
According to NADRA officials, this update is part of the authority’s ongoing commitment to digitizing citizen services and making administrative processes as seamless as possible for both locals and international visitors.
Here is a closer look at the two new major features added to the Pak ID app:
Automated Visa Applications for 193 Countries
The most significant addition to the app is a highly streamlined visa application process, which now caters to foreign nationals from 193 countries.
Through the updated Pak ID app, foreigners can now apply for all categories of Pakistani visas with unprecedented ease. To eliminate the hassle of manual data entry, the app now features a smart document scanning tool. Users can simply capture a photo of their passport using their smartphone camera or upload an existing image.
The application’s intelligent system will then automatically extract key details from the passport—such as the applicant’s name, passport number, and expiry date—and instantly auto-fill the application form. This not only saves valuable time but also drastically reduces the chances of manual typing errors.
