This update, released on September 30, 2026, aims to streamline the process for obtaining a replacement ID card, which is essential for identification both domestically and internationally.
NADRA officials emphasized the importance of the national identity card as a key document for every citizen, facilitating access to various services and rights. The authority has urged affected individuals to visit their nearest NADRA office or utilize the online portal for a hassle-free application process.
“We are committed to ensuring that every citizen can easily verify their identity and access essential services,” a NADRA spokesperson stated.
