The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has warned overseas Pakistanis against sharing personal information with unauthorized individuals or organizations claiming to represent the authority.
NADRA clarified that it has no authorized consultants, agents or dealers to process identity documents or submit online applications on its behalf.
Instead, overseas Pakistanis can access its services through NADRA Registration Centers and counters established at Pakistani embassies abroad. A list of these facilities is available on the authority’s official website.
Overseas Pakistanis can also apply for their first National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) through NADRA’s Pak ID mobile app. Applicants must provide the required personal and family details, upload supporting documents, complete biometric verification, and pay the applicable fee.
Applicants can track their applications through the app, although NADRA may request additional documents or an in-person visit if online verification is unsuccessful.
NADRA also said its online services are offered exclusively through the Pak ID mobile app and official websites ending in gov.pk.
The authority urged overseas Pakistanis to remain cautious and avoid sharing their personal information with anyone falsely claiming to be affiliated with NADRA.
