A public relations officer from NADRA emphasized that the Special Helpline 1777 is designed as a comprehensive resource for disabled individuals. It provides detailed information and guidance on various NADRA services, including the procedure for obtaining an NIC at home.
The helpline is staffed with dedicated personnel ready to assist with any questions or concerns.
Moreover, the home-based NIC issuance service is specifically crafted for individuals with disabilities who encounter difficulties in visiting NADRA registration centers. This service involves NADRA officials conducting home visits to collect necessary documents, capture biometric data, and ultimately issue the NICs. This approach ensures that individuals, irrespective of their physical abilities, can access essential identity documents.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
