Details of NADRA Advisory
NADRA clarified that citizens are generally not required to provide photocopies of documents such as:

- Family Registration Certificates
- Other NADRA-issued records
In most transactions, original documents or relevant NADRA-issued identification numbers are sufficient. Photocopies are only necessary when specific documents are unavailable in NADRA’s digital system. This measure aligns with NADRA’s process simplification and security enhancement objectives.
Security Concerns Over Unnecessary Photocopies
The advisory underscores that excessive photocopying of sensitive documents can lead to identity theft and fraudulent activities. Unauthorized individuals can misuse photocopies for illegal purposes, putting citizens’ personal data at risk.
How to File Complaints
Citizens encountering fraudulent activities or facing document-related issues can file complaints directly on the NADRA Complaints Portal:
