The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has rolled out new services that allow vehicle owners in Sindh to verify their vehicles easily. In a major step to enhance public service delivery, NADRA introduces vehicle check and biometric verification services to support safer buying and selling of registered vehicles in the province.
This initiative is part of the Sindh government’s effort to modernize vehicle transactions and cut down fraud. Under the updated system, citizens can verify vehicles digitally, making the registration and transfer process more secure and efficient. The new service builds mandatory biometric verification rules already in place to prevent illegal or fake transfers and fraudulent activity.
The digital vehicle verification facility works in collaboration with the provincial Excise and Taxation Department. Vehicle owners can now undergo biometric verification at any NADRA e‑facilitation center or district excise office in Sindh. This step is required in phases for vehicle registration and transfer processes.
Senior transport and excise officials explained that the verification system was introduced to bring transparency and trust to vehicle transactions. The new rules require biometric checks for both new vehicle registrations and the transfer process. In later phases, both buyer and seller must complete biometric verification before ownership changes can be finalized.
Officials say that NADRA introduces vehicle verification to protect buyers and sellers from fraud and ensure that all vehicle transfers are legitimate and traceable. By adding biometric steps, authorities aim to reduce fake sales, stolen vehicles, and related scams.
In Sindh, the policy was first introduced in September 2024 and later extended through June and August 2025 to ensure broad compliance. The extension gave vehicle owners additional time to complete the required verification before the rules became fully mandatory.
The biometric process uses NADRA’s secure identity database to match fingerprints and other identification details of vehicle owners. This makes it harder for fraudsters to create fake sale agreements or misuse stolen documents. Officials hope this step will increase confidence in the vehicle market while protecting citizens from financial loss.
Vehicle owners can initiate the process by visiting a NADRA e‑facilitation center, district excise office, or e‑Sahulat franchise that offers biometric verification services. These facilities help reduce the burden on central offices and make it easier for people to complete the required steps locally.
By launching this facility, the government aims to provide a more user‑friendly system for vehicle buyers and sellers. It also aligns with broader efforts to digitize government services and improve transparency in public transactions. Officials expect that these changes will reduce time spent at offices and cut down queues, as many parts of the process can now be completed quickly and securely.
Overall, the new verification services are a key part of the plan to strengthen the vehicle ownership system in Sindh. Citizens are encouraged to complete their checks early and take advantage of the improved digital process.
