Pakistan Single Window (PSW) has integrated its platform with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA)’s PakID Mobile App, allowing users to complete mandatory biometric verification remotely through their smartphones.
The new facility enables PSW users to complete biometric verification for subscription, subscription renewal and profile updates without having to physically visit NADRA’s e-Sahulat Center.
Following the integration with the PakID Mobile App, eligible users can now complete the verification process remotely, subject to applicable NADRA requirements.
The facility is expected to be particularly convenient for overseas Pakistanis involved in trade-related activities in the country. Eligible overseas users would be able to complete their PSW biometric verification remotely through the PakID app, reducing the need for physical visits to Pakistan for this purpose. To facilitate a smooth transition, both verification channels will remain available during an interim period. Users will therefore have the option of completing their biometric verification digitally through the PakID Mobile App or continuing to visit NADRA e-Sahulat Centers.
“The integration with NADRA’s PakID Mobile App reflects our commitment to listening to the PSW community both in Pakistan and overseas and responding to their needs,” PSW CEO Syed Aftab Haider. “By enabling remote biometric verification, we are removing another physical trip in the onboarding process and making the PSW user journey more convenient, accessible, and user driven,” he added.
According to PSW, the integration removes the only physical visit previously required during the subscription process, enabling the entire process to be completed digitally. The initiative is part of PSW’s broader efforts to expand the use of digital solutions, improve accessibility and simplify procedures for businesses.
