The Directorate General of Immigration and Passports, in cooperation with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), has launched a new and much easier fingerprint verification system for people applying for new passports.
With this updated process, applicants can now confirm their fingerprints using the NADRA Pak-ID mobile app. The best part is that this can be done anytime and from anywhere, without visiting an office. If someone has trouble verifying their fingerprints, the app also offers a facial recognition option, making the process even more convenient.
To start the passport application, users must first visit the online passport web portal. When they reach the fingerprint verification stage, they will need to open and log in to the Pak-ID mobile app on their phone.
Inside the biometric verification section of the app, applicants must choose the option named “Online Passport.” After selecting it, they will be asked to enter their passport tracking ID and their CNIC/Identity Card number. Once this information is added, the app will guide them step by step through fingerprint scanning and, if needed, facial recognition.
When the biometric verification is successfully completed, the system will show a confirmation message and redirect the applicant back to the online passport portal. From there, users can finish the remaining steps and submit their passport application without any hassle.
This new method aims to make passport applications faster, easier, and more secure for everyone.
