NADRA Pak ID New Version Released
NADRA has launched a new version of its Pak ID app. This is version 5.0.4. It brings many helpful updates for users across Pakistan and for Pakistanis living abroad. The aim is simple: make it easier to use, faster to update your information, and better overall.
If you have ever used the Pak ID app, you already know that it helps with things like applying for your CNIC, tracking your ID card, and more. Now, with this latest update, NADRA has added new features that help you keep your contact information up to date without needing to visit an office or wait in long lines.
Let’s go through everything you need to know about the new version, how it works, and how to use the new features.
What is the Pak ID App?
Pak ID is an official app by NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority). It is made for people who want to access NADRA services online. This app lets users apply for CNIC, Family Registration Certificate, and other ID-related services using their phone or computer.
You do not need to visit a NADRA center for many things. You can do them from home. This saves time and makes the process easier for everyone.
What’s New in Version 5.0.4?
The latest version of the Pak ID app brings two major updates:
- Mobile Number Update
- Email Address Update
These new features are added to help users who have changed their phone number or email address. In the past, changing your contact details with NADRA was not simple. Now, you can do it in just a few steps from the app.
Let’s talk about each feature in detail.
1. Mobile Number Update Feature
Before this update, if you changed your phone number, you had to visit a NADRA center or use older, slower methods to update it. This new version makes the process quick and easy.
How to Update Your Mobile Number:
- Open the Pak ID app on your phone.
- Log in using your CNIC and password.
- Go to the “Profile” section.
- Tap on the “Update Mobile Number” option.
- Enter your new mobile number.
- You will receive an OTP (One Time Password) on the new number.
- Enter that OTP in the app to confirm.
Once the OTP is verified, your mobile number will be updated in NADRA’s system. That’s it.
This is useful for anyone who changes their number, loses their SIM card, or switches service providers. It also helps keep your records up to date, which is important for receiving messages about your ID card or other documents.
2. Email Address Update Feature
Just like phone numbers, email addresses also change. People forget their old email passwords or stop using certain email accounts. If your email on record is no longer valid, you may miss important alerts or updates from NADRA.
With version 5.0.4, you can now update your email address using the app.
How to Update Your Email:
- Log in to the Pak ID app.
- Go to your “Profile” section.
- Tap on the “Update Email” option.
- Enter your new email address.
- You will receive an OTP on your new email.
- Enter the OTP in the app to verify.
Once verified, your email address will be changed in the system. This helps make sure you always get your updates, even if your old email no longer works.
Why These Updates Matter
Both these features are small, but they have a big effect. Keeping your mobile number and email up to date is very important. NADRA sends alerts and messages for things like:
- CNIC application status
- Card delivery updates
- Verification codes
- Account security messages
If your contact info is not correct, you may miss out or face delays. Now, you can avoid those problems by updating your info yourself in just a few steps.
What Else Does the Pak ID App Offer?
Besides these two updates, the app still includes its main services like:
- New CNIC application
- Smart CNIC application
- Overseas ID card (NICOP) application
- Tracking application status
- Renewals and reprints
- Uploading documents
- Online payments
All these services are still part of the app. The new version simply makes everything more useful.
Where Can You Get the App?
You can download the Pak ID app from:
- Google Play Store (for Android phones)
- Apple App Store (for iPhones)
You can also use the web version by going to www.nadra.gov.pk. The layout is similar and the process is almost the same on both mobile and desktop.
Do You Need to Create a New Account?
No, you do not need to make a new account if you already use Pak ID. Just update the app to version 5.0.4 from your phone’s app store. Log in as usual. The new features will be there in your profile section.
What If You Face a Problem?
If something doesn’t work, you can contact NADRA for help. Here are your options:
- Call the NADRA helpline at 1777 (for mobile users in Pakistan)
- Call +92-51-111786100 (for landline or overseas users)
- Visit the website for support: www.nadra.gov.pk
- Check their social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
The support team can help with login issues, OTP problems, or anything else related to the app.
Is It Safe to Use?
Yes, the app uses OTP codes and secure login steps to keep your data safe. Make sure you never share your CNIC number, password, or OTP with anyone. Always keep your login info private.
The release of Pak ID version 5.0.4 shows that NADRA is working to make things easier for the people. The new mobile number and email update options are simple but helpful. They let users manage their own information without any paperwork or long waiting time.
These updates will help users stay connected, get faster support, and avoid common problems that come from outdated contact info. If you use the Pak ID app, make sure to update to the latest version and check these new features.
This is a smart move by NADRA to make services more user-friendly and save time for everyone. Download the app, log in, and take control of your identity records today.
