KP Introduces Fast-Track Domicile Issuance System

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has introduced a fast-track domicile issuance system to reduce delays, improve transparency, and make the process easier for citizens.

The provincial government approved major reforms to the domicile issuance system, deciding to integrate it with the Dastak mobile application and the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system.

According to officials, the reforms are part of a business process re-engineering model aimed at improving efficiency, enhancing transparency, and facilitating citizens.

Under the new system, domicile applications verified through NADRA will be issued within one day. Applicants who have not changed their address for up to three years will also be processed on a fast-track basis.

Cases involving address changes within one to three years will be verified within three days, while recent address change cases will be scrutinized by district committees within ten days.

Authorities said the domicile software will now be linked with the Dastak app and NADRA CRVS system to streamline verification and reduce delays.

Citizens will also be able to complete biometric verification through the NADRA Pak ID app or E-Sahulat centers.

Officials said the initiative is designed to eliminate delays in domicile issuance and ensure greater transparency and convenience for the public.
