- Convenient Doorstep Service: NADRA has launched the Biker Service in Karachi, allowing citizens to renew CNICs and process essential documents at home without visiting NADRA offices, eliminating long queues.
- How it Works: Citizens can schedule a home visit by calling NADRA’s helpline. A biker equipped with necessary tools assists with renewals, and completed documents are delivered to the applicant’s residence.
- Expansion and Accessibility: With a Rs 1,000 additional fee, the service operates Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and plans to expand to Hyderabad and Mirpur Khas to enhance accessibility across Sindh.
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched its Biker Service in Karachi, providing a doorstep solution for citizens who need to renew their Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs) and process other essential documents without visiting NADRA offices.
The service, which was initially introduced in Punjab, has now been extended to Sindh, with Karachi being the first city to benefit. The initiative aims to eliminate the hassle of long queues and streamline the renewal process by sending NADRA representatives directly to citizens’ homes on motorcycles equipped with the necessary technology.
How the NADRA Biker Service Works
This service is designed to provide maximum convenience for residents who need to update their NADRA documents. Here’s how it works:
- Citizens can call the NADRA helpline to request the service.
- A NADRA biker equipped with the required tools will visit the applicant’s home at a scheduled time.
- The biker will assist in the renewal of CNICs and other related documentation. However, new CNIC applications will still require visiting a NADRA office.
- Once the renewal process is complete, the documents will be delivered to the applicant’s residence, removing the need for an additional trip.
The service operates from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday to Friday, ensuring accessibility for most working individuals.
Service Fees and Expansion Plans
To use the NADRA Biker Service, citizens must pay an additional fee of Rs 1,000 on top of the standard renewal charges. This added cost covers the convenience of home service and document delivery.
The initiative was officially launched in Karachi by NADRA Karachi Region Director General Ehtasham Shahid, who personally handed over bikes equipped with digital tools to the assigned service personnel.
Currently, three motorcycles have been allocated for Karachi to manage service requests efficiently. However, plans are already in place to expand the service to Hyderabad and Mirpur Khas, making the initiative more accessible to other regions in Sindh.
A Step Towards Digital and Hassle-Free Services
By introducing this service, NADRA is taking a significant step towards digitization and enhancing citizen convenience. Many people find it time-consuming and frustrating to visit NADRA offices, often waiting in long queues for simple renewals. This new approach ensures that essential services are delivered efficiently, saving time for Karachi residents.
With the success of the Biker Service in Punjab, its expansion to Karachi marks another milestone in making government services more accessible. Citizens can now renew their CNICs from the comfort of their homes, reducing stress and increasing efficiency in documentation processes.
For those looking to avoid long lines and get their NADRA work done quickly, the Biker Service is an excellent alternative, bringing NADRA’s services right to their doorstep.
