NADRA launches drive for re-verification of CNICs

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has formally launched a campaign for re-verification of registered families to identify illegal registrations.

NADRA is issuing SMS from 8008 to heads of families to get confirmation of their registered members.

A citizen can also verify his or her family by sending their CNIC number to 8008. However, the re-verification of Computerised National Identity Cards will start from the 1st of next month.

NADRA has established a helpline capable of handling 10,000 calls per day and an SMS gateway of 150,000 text messages per day to facilitate people reporting suspected CNICs issued to aliens.

The interior minister directed NADRA to ensure utilisation of all its resources to achieve the desired objective of removing aliens from the Authority’s database within the given timeline.

He also approved media strategy of NADRA for awareness of masses.
