Mobile Registration Drive for Overseas Pakistanis in UAE. The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has announced a new mobile registration facility for Pakistani nationals residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The initiative is aimed at making identification services more accessible and convenient for overseas Pakistanis, particularly those living in Ras Al Khaimah.
According to an official social media statement, NADRA’s Mobile Registration Team, accompanied by officials from the Pakistan Consulate, will visit Ras Al Khaimah to provide on-the-spot registration and documentation services to the Pakistani community.
Mobile Registration Team to Visit Ras Al Khaimah
As part of the special outreach campaign, NADRA’s mobile unit will travel to Ras Al Khaimah to facilitate Pakistani expatriates who may face difficulty traveling to larger cities for documentation services.
The mobile registration service will be available on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Pakistan Center. Pakistani citizens can visit the center during these hours to complete their identification-related procedures.
This initiative reflects NADRA’s commitment to serving overseas Pakistanis by bringing essential services directly to their communities.
Services Available for Overseas Pakistanis
During the mobile registration drive, Pakistani citizens residing in Ras Al Khaimah will be able to:
- Apply for new identification documents
- Renew expired identification cards
- Request modifications or corrections in their documents
- Update personal information
The facility is especially beneficial for overseas Pakistanis who need urgent documentation but are unable to travel to consulates in other emirates.
Alternative Options for NICOP and Other Services
In addition to the mobile registration facility, NADRA has encouraged overseas Pakistanis to use digital solutions for their documentation needs. Citizens who wish to apply for a NICOP (National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis), renew their identification documents, or make corrections can use the Pak ID mobile application.
The Pak ID app allows applicants to submit their requests directly through their smartphones without physically visiting a NADRA office. According to the authority, individuals who use the Pak ID app do not need to stand in long queues or wait for appointments, as the entire process can be completed online.
Furthermore, overseas Pakistanis may also visit Pakistani consulates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for identification services. When traveling to Pakistan, they can visit any NADRA office to resolve identification-related matters.
Digital Transformation Through the Pak ID App
The introduction of the Pak ID mobile application highlights NADRA’s ongoing efforts toward digital transformation. The app provides a user-friendly platform where overseas Pakistanis can:
- Submit applications online
- Upload required documents
- Track application status
- Receive updates directly on their phones
By promoting the use of digital services, NADRA aims to reduce congestion at physical offices and improve service delivery efficiency.
Launch of “Nishan-e-Pakistan” Online Verification System
Earlier, NADRA introduced a new online identity verification system called “Nishan-e-Pakistan.” This modern verification system is designed to streamline and digitize identity authentication processes across various institutions.
The newly launched platform enables government departments and regulated private sector organizations to access secure and authenticated verification services through a single digital portal. This system enhances transparency, security, and efficiency in identity verification procedures.
Under this new digital framework, registration, subscription, and access procedures are now completed online, eliminating lengthy paperwork and repeated approvals. This marks a major step forward in modernizing Pakistan’s identity management system.
Benefits for Overseas Pakistani Community in UAE
The UAE is home to a large Pakistani expatriate population, many of whom reside in Ras Al Khaimah and surrounding areas. Accessing identification services can sometimes be challenging due to travel distance, time constraints, or work commitments.
The mobile registration drive ensures that overseas Pakistanis can complete their documentation processes without unnecessary inconvenience. By bringing services directly to the community, NADRA is helping citizens save time, reduce costs, and avoid delays.
Moreover, digital platforms like the Pak ID app provide additional flexibility, allowing individuals to complete procedures at their convenience.
NADRA’s Commitment to Overseas Pakistanis
The latest initiative demonstrates NADRA’s continued commitment to facilitating overseas Pakistanis and improving service accessibility. Whether through mobile registration units, consular support, or digital platforms, the authority is working to ensure that Pakistani nationals abroad can easily obtain and manage their identification documents.
The combination of physical outreach programs and advanced digital systems reflects a broader strategy to modernize identity services and enhance customer experience.
Conclusion
The launch of the mobile registration drive in Ras Al Khaimah by the National Database and Registration Authority is a significant development for overseas Pakistanis living in the UAE. With on-site services available on February 15, 2026, at the Pakistan Center, citizens have a valuable opportunity to complete their identification processes conveniently.
