Islamabad: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued a public advisory urging Pakistani citizens to avoid making unnecessary photocopies of national identity cards, family registration certificates, and other NADRA-issued documents. The advisory emphasizes that, for most transactions, only original documents or corresponding NADRA-issued numbers are needed.
Security implications
To ensure the safety of personal information, NADRA recommends that citizens present only original documents unless absolutely necessary.
Complaint channels
In an effort to address any potential misuse of the photocopy requirement, NADRA has established multiple channels for citizens to report instances where staff may request unnecessary copies. Complaints can be submitted online through NADRA’s complaint portal or via the Central Complaint Management System.
Protect your identity, streamline your paperwork
By adhering to this advisory, Pakistani citizens can play an active role in safeguarding their personal information while also contributing to a more efficient administrative process.
