In a groundbreaking move to simplify bureaucratic processes, Karachi has introduced a digital domicile system, designed to make it easier and faster for citizens to obtain their domiciles. The new system drastically reduces the time required for issuance, bringing down the processing period from weeks to just two days, with a minimal fee of Rs 660.
Addressing Previous Challenges in the System
Before the introduction of the digital system, the process of obtaining a domicile in Karachi was notorious for being time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to corruption. Many citizens had to navigate through cumbersome procedures that could take weeks or even months. The new digital solution is a game-changer, offering a transparent and hassle-free experience for residents, ensuring that they no longer face unnecessary delays.
Inauguration of Digital Domicile Desk
The Digital Domicile Desk was officially inaugurated at the Korangi Deputy Commissioner Office by Commissioner Karachi, Syed Hassan Naqvi. During the event, he emphasized the importance of this initiative in improving public services and announced that plans are underway to introduce door-to-door domicile delivery across all districts of Karachi. This will further enhance the convenience for applicants, especially those who find it difficult to visit government offices in person.
Empowering Citizens through Digital Solutions
This move is part of a broader initiative to digitize essential services, improving accessibility for Karachi’s growing population. By adopting modern technology, the local administration is making it easier for citizens to interact with government services, while also reducing opportunities for corruption. This system is expected to set a precedent for other cities and districts across Pakistan to follow, encouraging further digitization of public services.
Future Prospects for Digital Transformation
With the successful launch of the digital domicile system, Karachi is taking a bold step toward digital transformation in governance. The system not only promotes efficiency but also reflects a commitment to enhancing the relationship between citizens and the government. As the service expands with door-to-door delivery, it is set to become even more user-friendly, offering residents an unprecedented level of accessibility
