NADRA Launches Mobile App to Register Births, Deaths, and Marriages from Home

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced a new mobile application that allows Pakistani citizens to digitally register life events—including births, deaths, and changes in marital status—without needing to visit government offices.

The initiative was officially announced during the second meeting of the National Registration and Biometric Policy Framework Implementation Committee, which included representatives from federal ministries, regulatory bodies, and provincial departments.

According to NADRA Chairman Lt Gen (Retd) Muhammad Munir Afsar, the mobile app is a step toward digitizing public services and strengthening the integrity of the national database.

“This mobile application enables citizens to register life events online from their homes. Initially, the rollout will begin in Punjab,” Afsar stated.

To support this new digital system, biometric verification services are being expanded to local union councils across the province. During the session, a live demonstration of the app was given to officials from the Local Government Department, showcasing its features and ease of use.

In parallel, NADRA is also establishing one-window counters in union councils across Islamabad to further simplify the registration process for walk-in users.

The meeting also featured an update from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Chairman, who briefed the attendees on the development of a national biometric policy. This framework aims to enable a secure and unified digital identity ecosystem across the country.

This move marks a significant milestone in Pakistan’s journey toward digital governance, with the potential to reduce bureaucratic delays, eliminate middlemen, and bring government services closer to the people.
