NADRA Announces Mobile Registration Drive for Overseas Pakistanis in the UK. The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has officially announced a Mobile Registration Drive for overseas Pakistanis living in the United Kingdom (UK). The initiative, scheduled for November 1 and 2, 2025, aims to provide convenient access to essential identification services, including NICOP renewal, modification, and family registration certificates.
This mobile setup will help thousands of Pakistani expatriates complete their documentation needs without visiting embassies or consulates, making the process faster, easier, and more accessible.
Purpose of the NADRA Mobile Registration Drive
The drive is part of NADRA’s global initiative to enhance citizen services for overseas Pakistanis by reaching communities where in-person access is limited. Through these mobile units, applicants can handle all NICOP- and FRC-related services within their local areas.
This campaign reflects NADRA’s commitment to providing efficient, citizen-friendly services, particularly to Pakistanis living abroad who face travel difficulties or time constraints.
