Authorities have introduced a new fingerprint verification system with the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra), enabling users to verify their identity via the Pak ID app, according to an official statement.
The system also includes a facial verification option for those facing difficulties with fingerprint authentication, offering greater flexibility to users.
Overseas Pakistanis had previously reported issues with online fingerprint verification, prompting the authorities to introduce these improvements, according to Director General of Passports and Immigration Mustafa Jamal.
"The facility will especially benefit overseas Pakistanis and senior citizens, making the verification process easier and more accessible," said Jamal.
The Passports and Immigration DG emphasised that all possible and modern facilities are being introduced to simplify citizen services and enhance convenience.
