In a significant step to expand services, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) announced that its “mobile registration drive” would be held in more cities of the United Kingdom (UK) for overseas Pakistanis.
NADRA revealed that the mobile registration drive will be available to overseas Pakistanis in Blackburn (Manchester) and Sheffield (Bradford) on August 30, 2025.
This initiative is part of NADRA’s broader outreach to facilitate overseas Pakistanis with necessary identification services, such as renewal of Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs), National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOPs), and Family Registration Certificates (FRCs).
The mobile drives, as scheduled, will be parked at two different locations, including Blackburn (Manchester) from 10:00am to 04:00pm and Sheffield (Bradford) from 09:00am to 04:00pm. NADRA suggests that overseas Pakistani residents bring their old CNICs or B-Forms to expedite processing.
Dedicated female staff and separate counters will be available to ensure women participants feel comfortable.
On the other hand, to make things easier, NADRA encourages the use of its Pak-ID mobile app, which allows users to apply for CNIC renewals, register births and marriages, and submit applications for government jobs online.
Previously, NADRA has kicked off modern one-window operation in union councils (UCs)of tehsil Pasroor, District Sialkot, Mandi Faizabad and District Nankana.
Through its social media announcement, the NADRA informed that the citizens of the respective UCs and countryside can now benefit from the issuance of identification documents and all the services of renewal in their nearby UCs.
