ISLAMABAD: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has simplified the process of fee payment, making the process easy for applicants.
According to a NADRA spokesperson, citizens can deposit cash at the relevant NADRA office or pay the fee online using banking services such as Easypaisa, Jizcash, or e-Sahulat. When applying, applicants should request a RAAST QR Code from the NADRA staff, scan it with their banking app, and submit the fee online without incurring any additional charges. NADRA has confirmed that all these payment options are available nationwide. If you have any complaints, you can call 1777 from your mobile phone or register your complaint on NADRA’s complaint portal at complaints.nadra.gov.pk. Additionally, complaints can also be filed using the Pak ID mobile app.
It is also important to verify the application form with NADRA. There are two ways to do this. If the biometrics of any immediate family member—such as a father, mother, sister, brother, son, daughter, or spouse—have already been recorded, no further attestation is needed.
If attestation is required, the form must be attested by a gazetted officer or a public representative. The attesting individual should verify that the person seeking attestation possesses valid and original identity documents and that the information provided in the NADRA application form is accurate. Applicants should ensure that they only receive attestation from authorised personnel and avoid any form of fake attestation.
According to Section 30 (2) of the NADRA Ordinance 2000, engaging in fake or false attestation can lead to a penalty of up to six months of imprisonment, a fine of up to fifty thousand rupees, or both.
