Pakistan Single Window enables remote biometric verification via Nadra’s PakID App

The Pakistan Single Window (PSW) has connected its platform with the National Database and Registration Authority’s (Nadra) PakID Mobile App, enabling users to finish mandatory biometric verification remotely using their smartphones. This new service allows PSW users to complete biometric verification for subscription, renewal, and profile updates without physically visiting Nadra’s e-Sahulat Centre. Previously, biometric verification for PSW services necessitated an in-person visit to Nadra’s e-Sahulat Centre.

With the integration of the PakID Mobile App, eligible users can now complete the verification process remotely, adhering to Nadra’s requirements. The facility is especially advantageous for overseas Pakistanis engaged in trade-related activities in the country. Eligible overseas users can now complete their PSW biometric verification remotely through the PakID app, eliminating the need for physical visits to Pakistan for this purpose.

To ensure a smooth transition, both verification methods will be accessible during an interim period, giving users the choice to complete biometric verification digitally via the PakID Mobile App or continue visiting Nadra e-Sahulat Centres. Syed Aftab Haider, CEO of PSW, stated that the integration with Nadra’s PakID Mobile App reflects the company’s commitment to addressing the needs of the PSW community both in Pakistan and overseas.

By enabling remote biometric verification, PSW aims to reduce the physical trips required during the subscription process, making the user journey more convenient, accessible, and user-driven.

This initiative is part of PSW’s broader efforts to incorporate digital solutions, enhance accessibility, and streamline procedures for businesses.
