The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) in Pakistan has made significant improvements to its services aimed at enhancing efficiency and accessibility for citizens. One notable change is the reduction in delivery time for Computerized National Identity Cards (CNIC) without imposing any additional fees on urgent requests. The delivery period has been shortened from 23 days to just 15 days, offering quicker access to essential identification documents.
In addition to expedited delivery, NADRA has introduced new facilities to alleviate the inconvenience of standing in long queues, recognizing the need for more streamlined processes and improved customer experience. These enhancements aim to make the CNIC application process more convenient and accessible to all citizens.
Alongside these improvements, NADRA has announced revised charges for various CNIC services. For a normal CNIC, the fee is set at Rs 750, while an urgent CNIC will incur a charge of Rs 1500. Moreover, individuals opting for an executive card will be required to pay Rs 2500. These new fees reflect a balance between providing essential services and covering operational costs, ensuring sustainability and quality service provision.
NADRA communicated these changes through its official channels, including its X account, ensuring transparency and widespread awareness among the public. By leveraging digital platforms for announcements, NADRA aims to reach a broader audience and keep citizens informed about updates and improvements to its services.
It’s worth noting that possessing a national identity card is a fundamental right for every citizen above 18 years of age in Pakistan. This identity document serves as a prerequisite for accessing various legal and financial services across the country, underlining its importance in everyday life.
Overall, NADRA’s efforts to reduce delivery times, introduce new facilities, and streamline processes demonstrate its commitment to enhancing citizen services and improving efficiency in identity documentation. These initiatives contribute to building a more inclusive and accessible system for all citizens of Pakistan.
