Story summary

The Pakistan Single Window (PSW) has integrated its platform with the National Database and Registration Authority’s (Nadra) PakID Mobile App, allowing users to complete mandatory biometric verification remotely via smartphones. Previously, biometric verification required in-person visits to Nadra's e-Sahulat Centre. Now, eligible users can use their phones to verify for PSW services like subscription, renewal, and profile updates from anywhere. This new feature is particularly beneficial for overseas Pakistanis involved in trade-related activities, reducing the need for them to travel back to Pakistan. Both remote and in-person verification options will remain available during a transition period to ensure smooth implementation.
