In a bid to provide enhanced services to overseas Pakistanis, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has announced that it will conduct a “mobile registration drive” on August 23, 2025, focusing on main UK locations.
NADRA announced that a mobile registration drive will be stationed in UK locations to assist overseas Pakistanis with necessary identification services, including the 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:
- Banbury (Birmingham)
- Brierfield (Manchester)
According to the authority, overseas Pakistanis can get the latest updates and information via NADRA’s official website and WhatsApp channel.
NADRA noted that overseas Pakistani residents bring their old CNICs or B-forms to expedite processing. Dedicated female staff and separate counters will be available to make sure women participants feel comfortable.
To make things simple, NADRA encourages the use of its Pak-ID mobile app, as this allows users to apply for CNIC renewals, register births and marriages, and submit applications for government jobs online.
“We are happy to help you whenever you need us, showing that we are dedicated to providing services that everyone can use," NADRA stated.
Previously, NADRA had taken a significant step to advance overseas Pakistanis’ services by upgrading its one-window facilitation desk at Bacha Khan International Airport, Peshawar.
The step would streamline the services which belong to the identity for Pakistani expatriates and international travellers.
The new desk for overseas Pakistanis services now features a separate office within the international terminal’s briefing area, which provides improved digital services through the Pak-ID mobile application.
