The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) on Friday announced a nationwide closure of its centres on November 9, in observance of Iqbal Day.
On Facebook, Nadra said that all registration and service centres will remain closed for the day; however, Nadra's Pak-ID mobile app will continue to function, giving citizens access to various services online during the holiday.
It should be noted that Nadra centres will resume operations as per the normal schedule from November 10.
Earlier on Tuesday, Nadra made it easier for citizens to get a Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), letting them avoid repeated visits to the centres. You can now apply for CNIC from the comfort of your home through the Pak-ID mobile app.
"Once processed, the ID card will be delivered to your home via courier service." This new service aims to save citizens' time waiting in long queues and repeated visits to Nadra centres.
