ISLAMABAD(National Times)- The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) has revamped its website, enabling citizens to access district-level birth and death records and also file right-to-information (RTI) requests online through a verified login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the authority, it has launched a major overhaul of its website, and replaced a text-heavy site that had been criticised as outdated and hard to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A press release said that Nadra, which holds biometric data for over 240 million citizens, had redesigned group services, statistics and support \u201cin a structured and user-centric manner\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor the first time, Nadra\u2019s Geospatially Referenced Demographic Information System is public. The tool displays registration data on interactive maps and lets users compare district-level census figures with Nadra\u2019s own records,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA map gallery offers downloadable thematic maps for research and planning \u2014 data previously restricted to government departments,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said that the key identity documents \u2014 including Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs) for residents, National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (Nicops), and Family Registration Certificates \u2014 were now categorised by user type to cut search time for local and overseas users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe site also consolidates verification services used by banks, telecom firms and government departments into a single section. A dedicated RTI portal now lets citizens file information requests, track them online and receive responses within 10 working days, with privacy safeguards listed,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It further stated that the customer support had been expanded to include a 24\/7 call centre, an automated IVR system and a complaint tracker with public performance metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said that Nadra\u2019s careers portal had been upgraded to meet modern requirements, offering verified login through Pak ID, a streamlined application process and improved access to job opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Per the press release, Nadra said the \u201ccomprehensive, integrated digital platform\u201d was tailored to citizens\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe initiative aims to make access to services, information and data more user-friendly. The revamped website highlights Nadra\u2019s evolving role in Pakistan\u2019s identity management system, showcasing the country\u2019s transition from traditional paper-based processes to one of the world\u2019s largest biometric identity systems,\u201d it said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The website also reflected Nadra\u2019s extensive network across Pakistan and abroad, including registration centres, mobile units, and services for overseas Pakistanis, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis initiative marks a significant step toward enhancing digital accessibility, transparency and public service delivery, reinforcing NADRA\u2019s commitment to providing secure, efficient and citizen-centric identity services through modern technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDigital accessibility and transparency are central to our service delivery,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
