The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has started working on the conversion of the computerized national identity cards (CNICs) of all citizens into digital wallets.
The initiative is a part of the Digital Pakistan initiative of the federal government and NADRA is considering bringing the vision to life as an update to an existing mobile application.
Speaking in this regard, Chairman NADRA, Tariq Malik said that NADRA had launched ‘Pak Identity’ and the initiative of digital wallets will be launched as an update to this application.
It will enable contactless banking, increase financial inclusion, improve ease of doing business, and support e-governance initiatives by providing remote identification and electronic know your customer.
Besides, the move will help to revolutionize the national ID ecosystem by ensuring public convenience and prove a giant leap in doing away with traditional physical ID once and for all.
Pak Identity is an essential component of NADRA’s digital ecosystem. While it enables users to apply for CNICs online, it is equipped with a wide range of features such as biometric fingerprints, facial recognition, and documents scanner.

No need of this so called centerlized wallet. Trust wallet is the way to go.
They are still against cryptocurrencies and talking about digital wallets. But soon they will accept blockchain technology.
Aye din govt. ka data hack hota rehta hai, ab wallet se paisay bhi choori hongay.
It can only go if you put something in the wallet.
If you are afraid then keep the balance zero.
Simple.
Must not discourage country’s policy they only creates ease for public transactions
Sounds amazing however since our statbank is now controlled by imf and international agencies how safe is my personal and financial information once nadra integrates digital wallet with my cnic
I pay tax to Pakistan as a Pakistani citizen I want my personal information only available to my own countries governance and departments and should any of my personal information is used for foreign aid programs marketing or targeting tool by Pakistan or third country where will be the forum and legislation to get relief or justice against that??
And once if consumer protection is enabled to audit nadra and state bank against individual then any UN or foreign international rights organization will also be enabled meaning I am being sold.
How much money will Pakistani earn for selling every Pakistani? Or are we going to stop begging for foreign aid after that so my country don’t have to sell me.
It seems u are too conservative in yr thought we are nation who believe in rumours which are being spread by those pseudo journalist and economist s please be clear in yr mind the world is moving fast try to catch up with it or else we will be left behind
Good work
🤣
I am not satisfied with this many people have no good phones even some people have not any phone so we should also know about the rural areas of Pakistan I belong to city have everything but think about that people who have nothing very poor
I agree with you ..
They’re Doing Cleanups, Or They Have No Way Of Counting Citizens With Real Evidence. After all, you need to know how much you can get tax and levies from the population. And it will be revealed who is spinning the ice cream under the table, and who is “honest”. Generally, where the apparent order is made by force, it is a sign that you need to hide something or get a good cash, someone has a goal in it. Besides, telling beautiful stories about how easier it will be some finger-tipped stories for the fast-loyal uninformed people. It will be easier to inspect citizens, it is a fact. with a nationally administered vision of beauty, little benefits to ordinary Malik or Aftab.
Basically it’ll be a tool for tax surveillance.
Nice program
Abdul
To be soon followed by biometric identification i-e no CNIC, no cash, no paper but just you with finger prints or retina.
