The card was unveiled during a special ceremony for celebrating NADRA’s silver jubilee.

The step marks advancement towards digitisation. This digital card is expected to transform citizens’ interaction with government services.

A ceremony held at NADRA headquarters, where State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) unveiled a commemorative coin. On the occasion, a special postage stamp by Pakistan Post, and a book documenting NADRA’s 25-year journey were also unveiled.

Lauding the development, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi called it a major step towards the country’s digital identity transformation. He announced that the feature would soon be integrated into the Pak ID mobile app, through which citizens would be able to store their identity cards on their smartphones.

On the occasion, Naqvi also mentioned NADRA s efforts to extend identity services to remote areas of the country and overseas citizens.

A digital verification system, set to be launched as part of the World Bank-supported Digital Economy Project, is scheduled to begin its pilot phase on Independence Day 2025.
