Islamabad, Mar 1: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has taken a significant step to enhance public convenience by setting up dedicated service counters at various post offices across Punjab. This initiative aims to streamline the process of obtaining national identity cards, ensuring citizens receive quicker and more efficient services.
Under the directives of Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, NADRA’s Lahore Regional Director General has introduced these specialized counters at eleven key post offices in Lahore and other major districts. These centers, established in collaboration with the Pakistan Post Department’s Punjab Region, are now operational at locations including Lahore Cantt, GPO, Manga Mandi, Shershah Colony, Shahdara, Qila Sheikhupura, Kasur, Narowal, Gujranwala, Sialkot, and Okara.
With these newly launched counters, citizens can now easily renew or replace their identity cards without the hassle of enduring long queues at conventional NADRA centers. This move is expected to significantly reduce wait times and enhance service efficiency, making essential identity-related tasks more accessible to the public.

The establishment of these counters marks a crucial milestone in NADRA’s ongoing efforts to modernize and improve public service delivery. By leveraging postal networks, the initiative expands NADRA’s reach, ensuring that even individuals in remote areas can access vital identity services without unnecessary delays.
Additionally, NADRA has recently introduced another groundbreaking facility that allows citizens to deposit funds into accounts at over 50 banks via NADRA e-Sahulat.

This step not only enhances accessibility to financial services but also contributes to the growth of digital banking in Pakistan. By integrating identity management with financial transactions, NADRA continues to play a pivotal role in modernizing service infrastructure and providing seamless solutions for the public.
With these innovations, NADRA reaffirms its commitment to delivering efficient, citizen-centric services while embracing technological advancements to improve accessibility and convenience across the country.
