NADRA Pakistan ( National Database and Registration Authority ) Facilitation Or Frustration
NADRA ( National Database and Registration Authority ) claim to be one of the most succesful project in the modern history of Pakistan.
But few days ago, i got a chance to visit NADRA's office in karachi with a friend of mine who wished to renew his expired id card. There i found out that what public complain about the difficulties faced by them in achieving new id card, is really toughest procedure.
*1) My Friend's Experience = " I will never ever come again to renew my id card " comments by him as he tried to renew and to update his residential address as a responsible and educated citizen of ( Karachi ) Pakistan. " It took more then 3 days running here and there bringing out the various kind of documents, attestation by only specific persons of that that grade and after fulfilling all their requirements and procedure, the day they asked me to collect the id card, when i reached at the destination i was greeted by that i could not receive my card as due to some kind of conflict in new and old residential addresses " ...... So again bring those documents and do this and that ..... the same home documents i showed them first day, again this time they verified and accepted ..... now do this and that ! As a result of all this confused nadra's procedure he changed his mind to apply to renew his id card and change of address.
*2) The Very Interesting Mistake I Noticed = on the first day visit at nadra's office karachi , was an elderly lady cusing and yelling at the Nadra's staff and authorities, as after paying the urgent fees and even telling everything during the form filling procedure ( This form is filled by the nadra staff , along with the recent photo snap on time ), she was complaining that after wasting time and energy, what Nadra's so called highly qualified educated and trained staff wrote in her form :-
Marital Status : Divorced
Currently Residing With : Husband
As a result when she went to attest her form, the form was rejected and that lady was really angry at Nadra's staff " This is the responsibility and care the senior citizens and elderly lady deserve in Islamic Sultanat Of Pakistan ( Islamic Republic Of Pakistan ) ". Further she commented," this is like many others biggest failed projects in the history of Pakistan ". Thank to that lady who allowed me to capture this interesting mistake snap and to share with world.
But over all such minor mistakes really create anger and frustration among people, as they try to perform their responsibility as a responsible citizen, but when they face too many problems, confusions and misguidance by the concerned departments, they change their mind to further struggle.

You are 100% right its only a frustration with no result in the end.
I have two more NADRA effeciency reports which i would like to share.
1) I got married last year and this june went nadra to update my wife's NIC with my name.
After 15 days we got her NIC with name modified. Now you guys would be thinking where is the twist, we were happy that we have got it without any hassle and that euphoria ended when we carefully looked at the age and NIC number which was also udpated. she has got a new date of birth :) which made her 12 years older then her current age :). and here begins that cumbersome process which still we are waiting to come to its end but no sign of it. oh NADRA what a successful project.
2) One of our relative got NIC with wrong age which made her atleast 15 years younger. She applied for new n after 2 years and 8 months she got new NIC with age which states that she is 20 years older then her actual age. laughs out loud. and the interesting thing is that she didnt have her husband NIC she took his death certificate of 1965 and her age on NIC is 1957 and his eldest son was born in 1950 and it is mentioned on the NIC as well :).

Respected And Dear Raheel,
Thank You For Sharing Your NADRA Pakistan Experience With Us. Although, It Was Really Funny About The Age Error, But On the Other Side We Can Imagine The Hassle, Waste Of Your Precious Time ( In Which You Can Perform Other Important Tasks ) And Frustration / Anger Faced By You And Your Wife !
Alas, Public Like You And Me / Media Are Reporting ( Doing ) Those Things, Which Is Basically The Responsibility Of Elected Representatives.
Media, Newsapapers, Online Blogs, People Are Now Looking At Someone ( Or Better Say Yelling ) To Solve Their Problems ..... But What Is Happening I, You And The World Knows ......
Still Hoping For The Best To Come / Happen In Future ( If Not For Us, But For The Next Generations To Come, May God Make Life Easier For Everyone )

Asalam o Alaikum,
thanks for sharing your experience guys. I dont know why I feel .... everything is so much depandant on other in Pakistan.. without reference everything seems near to impossible. By the way this is not only in Pakistan .. my nicop was issued in London, UK. I wont surprise you its the same procedure and hassel you faced in Pakistan. paying them urgent fees is useless. Luckily i found my class mate when i went for my nicop and process was pretty easy.
feamanillah.

story: I have a very bad experience with nadra in uk. I had applied for my children a national ID at London Embassy. It was March 2005 when i had applied after several appointments. Since then I have recieved my national ID and my wifes ID and one of my daughters ID card. I am still waiting for my other four childrens ID cards, also i tried several times at the London Embassy. I paid all the relevent fees and i got all the numbers and everything with me. I dont know what i have to do to get them, it is not easy to reach to Embassy everyday, or every week and now i'm thinking whenever we want to travel to Pakistan we will get Visa as a British Citizen. Thanks

One big reason for stupid performance of NADRA: It is run by stupid military men. They must be ousted from every public position, otherwise, no solution to frustrations of Pakistanis.
