NADRA Launches Mobile App to Register Births, Deaths, and Marriages from Home

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) created a mobile application this month to enable Pakistani citizens to conduct vital records registration at home through their smartphones. The organization seeks to enhance public convenience through modernization of Pakistan’s civil registration system.

Users can now access vital registration services through the new app which operates in specified districts as part of its current pilot version. Through the app users can digitize relevant information which allows them to finish their paperwork and stay informed about the progress of their applications.

NADRA Chairman Muhammad Tariq Malik declared this initiative as a critical part of the organization’s mission to establish a digital ecosystem based on people-centricity throughout Pakistan. The mission of our organization is to deliver services directly to each citizen especially to residents of isolated communities within Pakistan he explained.

The application uses NADRA’s centralized system for data entries to guarantee secure authenticated data which immediately updates the national database. Through the application’s implementation the authorities expect threefold benefits which include shortened registration periods accompanied by the removal of intermediaries while offering better official documentation access.

Testing of the application has ended successfully and officials expect to deploy it across all national regions. Through its dual language support system the application provides users access to video tutorials along with guidelines making it easier to use.

Digital rights activists, together with citizens, praise the application because it represents a major transformation in Pakistan’s identity management procedures. Some experts demand enhanced awareness efforts to guarantee that rural people can use and obtain benefits from this service.

The release of NADRA’s new app advances Pakistan’s digital government agenda, which follows international e-governance standards and a public service optimization approach.
