The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched a mobile registration facility for Pakistanis living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The new service will help overseas Pakistanis access identity card and documentation services without visiting permanent offices.
Officials said the initiative aims to improve convenience and reduce waiting times.
Why NADRA Launched the Service
Thousands of Pakistanis live and work in the UAE. However, many face challenges when renewing or modifying their identity documents. Therefore, NADRA introduced mobile registration units to bring services closer to the community.
The move aligns with the government’s broader effort to support overseas Pakistanis.
Services Offered Through Mobile Units
According to officials, the mobile registration facility will provide:
- CNIC renewal and modification
- New NICOP applications
- Biometric verification
- Family registration certificate services
Additionally, trained staff will assist applicants with documentation requirements and processing steps.
How the Mobile Registration Works
NADRA will deploy special vans equipped with biometric systems and data processing tools. These mobile units will visit different cities in the UAE on scheduled dates.
Applicants must book appointments in advance. Meanwhile, authorities will announce schedules through official channels and the Pakistani embassy.
Community Response
Overseas Pakistanis in the UAE welcomed the decision. Many said the mobile service will save time and travel costs. In addition, community leaders praised NADRA for improving access to essential services.
Experts believe the initiative will strengthen engagement between the government and the Pakistani diaspora.
What Happens Next?
NADRA plans to monitor the response to the mobile registration facility. If successful, officials may expand similar services to other countries with large Pakistani communities.
For now, residents in the UAE should check official updates for registration dates and appointment details.
Conclusion
NADRA’s mobile registration facility in the UAE offers easier access to identity services for overseas Pakistanis. The initiative reduces inconvenience and strengthens support for citizens abroad.
