Computerized National Identity Card
The Computerized National ID Card (CNIC) includes a sophisticated array of security features to safeguard against fraud and improper use. The CNIC contains machine-readable information, although characteristics can be seen with the naked eye and others must be verified using optical aids. The special characteristics of the CNIC will protect its integrity.
National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis Among other cards, NADRA Ordinance envisages issuance of cards to Pakistani workers/emigrants and citizens /resident abroad and Pakistanis holding dual nationality who have got themselves registered under the NADRA Ordinance. This card is known as the National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP). On account of its utility, it is an identification document usable in place of NIC whenever required. However NICOP is more than just an identification document.
Pakistan Origin Card
A person shall be an eligible foreigner of Pakistan origin or eligible for Pakistan Origin Card if he is a foreigner; and he had been a citizen of Pakistan at any time during his life. Among other cards, NADRA Ordinance envisages issuance of cards to foreigners of Pakistani origin who have got themselves registered under the NADRA Ordinance. This card is called the Pakistan Origin Card. On account of its utility, it is an identification document usable in place of NIC whenever required. However POC is more than just an identification document.
Child Registration Certificate Child registration is the fundamental right that every country should provide to the children of its citizens. The right of name and nationality is ensured in Article 7 of the United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child, where Pakistan was a signatory. Children registration is essential not only for their identity but also for governments for their social services’ planning. It ensures the availability of health and educational facilities to the children. Registration is a proof that is needed for a number of services and it recognizes the child as a citizen of a country with rights to be cared for. Despite of all the policies and legislations for birth registration, Pakistan has not been able to achieve the targets and many children in Pakistan are still deprived of this fundamental right.
Automatic Border Control System Supplementing the electronic passports is the state-of-theart border control system designed for immigration authorities to efficiently process all arrival and departures at airports, railway stations and bus terminals. The Automated Border Control (ABC) is a fully automated immigration control system linked with the central database that makes full use of the ePassport not only by reading all electronic passports but also performs Facial Recognition as well as fingerprint Identification to positively identify. This system is capable of reading and processing all e-Passports as well as all identity documents such as the National Identity Cards for Overseas Pakistanis.
ONLINE BILL PAYMENT Kiosk The Online Payment Kiosk is designed to enable utility bill payments as well as perform electronic banking after proper authentication from biometric and online verification systems using the computerized national identity cards.

NADRA recognizes its responsibility in doing whatever it can to enhance the security of documents and to improve public safety and national security. This new Driver’s License makes it harder to counterfeit or steal driver’s licenses, by adding the RFID computer chips. These RFID tags foil identity theft and prevent criminals from using false documents to move about freely.
