National Database and Registration Authority

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) was established in 2000 and is Pakistan’s main organization that manages the country’s national identity system. NADRA aims to register the information of every Pakistani citizen safely and transparently through modern technology. This process not only protects the identity of citizens but also plays an important role in national security, policy-making, and economic planning of the country.
