NADRA to install automated machines at key locations in Karachi

National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) is boosting ID card application process in Karachi by installing automated self-service machines at high-traffic locations in the the city. 

State of the art NADRA mega centers at railway stations, airports, shopping malls, educational institutions, and government offices will make it easier for citizens to access essential identity card services. 

After ganing success in Islamabad, NADRA is rolling out these innovative kiosks to tackle the persistent issue of long queues at its centers. The machines will streamline the process for renewing ID cards, obtaining lost ones, and applying for Child Registration Certificates (Form B).

Citizens can use the kiosks to input their basic information, complete biometric verification, and take photographs. They will also have the option to choose between urgent or normal processing. Upon completion, the machine will generate a QR code, which can be used to pay fees via JazzCash, Easypaisa, or credit and debit cards.
