The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) has introduced a new service enabling citizens to check the status of their applications online through its Pak ID mobile app. According to a Nadra spokesperson, the feature is designed for ease of use and eliminates the need for most in-person visits to Nadra offices.
Almost all services — including applications for identity cards, B-Forms, and Family Registration Certificates (FRCs) — are now available through the app. Citizens are only required to visit a Nadra office once in their lifetime to obtain their first identity card.
The spokesperson added that the app is especially beneficial for overseas Pakistanis, allowing them to access essential services remotely. Earlier, NADRA streamlined the process for obtaining Succession Certificates, making it significantly easier for citizens to claim inheritance rights.

A new notification stated that legal heirs can now submit applications for Succession Certificates at any of the 186 Succession Certificate Units (SFUs) established across Pakistan.
These units are located at NADRA centres in Islamabad, Punjab, Sindh, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan, irrespective of where the inherited property is located.
In a bid to enhance convenience, the biometric verification process has also been improved. Legal heirs can now complete the biometric process either at their nearest designated NADRA centre or remotely via the Pak ID mobile app.
