NADRA Services Near Home
The availability of NADRA services at Union Councils marks a significant step towards making citizen services more accessible. As the primary agency responsible for identification and registration in Pakistan, NADRA handles vital processes, including birth and death registrations, Family Registration Certificates (FRCs), and other essential documents. Previously, citizens had to visit designated NADRA offices, which often involved long travel times and delays, especially for those in smaller towns or rural areas. To address this, the government has now extended NADRA services to the Union Council level, enabling people to access these critical facilities closer to home, with greater convenience and efficiency.
About the Union Council?
A Union Council is the foundational tier of local government in Pakistan, playing a vital role in resolving community-level issues in both rural and urban areas. It serves as a direct link between the government and the public, ensuring that essential services reach the people efficiently. Now, with the collaboration of NADRA, Union Councils have begun providing key identification services, such as issuing ID cards, bringing these facilities closer to the citizens.
NADRA facilities are now available at Union Councils in the following cities to serve citizens more conveniently:
- Islamabad

- Gujrat
This initiative aims to bring essential identity services closer to the public, reducing travel time and improving access at the grassroots level.
