NADRA has issued new instructions for first-time identity card applicants aged 18 or above. The guidance applies to applicants whose parents or siblings are unavailable.
It also covers applicants whose immediate family members are not registered with the authority. Such applicants must complete specific documentation before visiting a NADRA Registration Center.
Applicants are required to provide documents that can confirm their identity and citizenship. A verified computerized birth certificate can be submitted for this purpose.
Applicants can also provide a citizenship certificate or naturalization certificate. These documents help establish the applicant’s legal identity and citizenship status.
The authority also requires two identity card holders above 18 years of age as biometric witnesses. NADRA gives preference to witnesses who are relatives of the applicant.
Relatives from either the maternal or paternal side may serve as witnesses. This requirement helps establish a connection between the applicant and their family.
However, suitable relatives may not always be available. In such cases, applicants can arrange a witness from their local area.
The witness must hold a valid CNIC or National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis. They must also personally know the applicant.
Applicants must complete additional declaration requirements as part of the process. They are required to submit Declaration B in the prescribed format.
The application form must also be attested by an authorized person. This attestation is required under Rule 9 of the relevant procedure.
Applicants should carefully prepare all required documents before visiting the registration center. Missing documents could delay the application process.
NADRA has also advised applicants to bring any additional documents that may support their case. These documents can help confirm their identity or family connections.
Such supporting documents may be useful when standard family verification is not available. Applicants should therefore provide all relevant records they possess.
Once the documentation and verification requirements are complete, applicants can proceed with their application. They should visit their nearest NADRA Registration Center for submission.
The process is specifically important for first-time identity card applicants without available family members. Proper documentation can help authorities complete the required verification.
Applicants should ensure that their documents are accurate and properly verified. They should also make sure their witnesses meet the stated requirements.
Following the instructions can help applicants avoid unnecessary delays. It can also make the first-time identity card application process smoother.
The requirements provide an alternative verification process for applicants with limited family records. They allow such individuals to establish their identity through approved documents and witnesses.
