The Malir Cantonment centre is part of NADRA’s ongoing efforts to expand accessibility for identity documentation and civil registration services. Earlier, the authority had also begun offering CNIC renewal and identity documentation services through selected e-Sahulat franchises across the country.
Addressing public awareness gaps, NADRA spokesperson Shabahat Ali Syed highlighted that while registrations of marriages, divorces, births, and deaths are increasing, overall public reporting of these events remains comparatively low. To improve citizen engagement, NADRA has collaborated with Radio Pakistan to raise awareness about the importance of timely registration of vital life events.
