According to the guidelines, applicants must provide one of the following documents as proof of the new address:

Electricity, gas, or water bill in the applicant’s name, or in the name of their parents or spouse.

Domicile certificate, property documents or society allotment letter or verified tenancy agreement are also acceptable for address update.

Citizens may submit their application along with the required documents through the PakID mobile app or by visiting the nearest NADRA office.

Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports, in cooperation with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), has introduced a new system for fingerprint confirmation, ARY News reported.

Those who want to get new passports can confirm their fingerprints using the NADRA Pak-ID mobile app anytime and anywhere.

If someone encounters a problem confirming their fingerprints, they can use the facial recognition facility on the app.

To submit an application for a new passport, visit the online web portal. When you reach the fingerprint phase, log in to the PAK-ID mobile app.
