The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) is set to introduce facial recognition technology to assist elderly citizens who face difficulties with fingerprint verification.
NADRA spokesperson Shabbahat Ali, speaking on Geo Pakistan, stressed that registering children at birth is vital to securing their basic rights. For those under 18, NADRA issues a Juvenile Card, valid until adulthood, requiring at least one parent’s CNIC for issuance.
He added that Karachi currently has 359 counters, with plans to expand further for improved service. The new face recognition feature will provide much-needed relief to senior citizens.
Ali also clarified procedural requirements, noting that in divorce cases, a Union Council certificate is mandatory.
