Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Takes Digital Lead with QR-Based Identity System ‘Khyber Pass’
In a move that marks a new era for citizen services in Pakistan, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has launched Khyber Pass, the country’s first QR-based digital identity platform. The system will give users a single digital account and scannable ID for real-time access to multiple government services including healthcare, education, property, and licensing.
Inaugurated by Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, the initiative is designed to eliminate repetitive paperwork and long queues by linking citizen data through a secure NADRA integration.
The system already includes three live services and will soon expand to cover the Sehat Card and other key provincial services. Gandapur revealed that prior digitization efforts saved Rs. 3 billion via
e-challans and Rs. 13 billion in Sehat Card operations.
As KP’s treasury climbs to Rs. 190 billion, the Khyber Pass platform represents a major leap in e-governance, transparency, and citizen trust-building.
