The Pakistani government is cracking down on fake ID cards with a new program called “NADRA Family Tree Verification.” This is a big deal because it means NADRA, the national ID authority, is getting serious about making sure everyone’s identity info is legit.
One cool way they’re doing this is with the “SMS Family Verification System.” Think of it like a family tree detective agency you can access through your phone. You just text in a name, and bam! You can see if they’re part of your family on the official records. This helps weed out fake IDs and keep your info safe.
It’s kind of like a neighborhood watch for your family tree, making sure everyone who’s supposed to be there is, and no imposters are sneaking in. This way, you can be confident your ID is accurate and won’t cause you any trouble down the line
How NADRA family tree verification can help you
NADRA family tree verification is a great way to confirm your family relationships with an official document. This document can be useful for a variety of legal and official purposes, such as:
- Applying for a passport or visa
- Obtaining government documents
- Resolving inheritance issues
For example, if you’re applying for a passport, you may need to provide a NADRA family tree verification certificate to prove your identity and nationality. Or, if you’re trying to inherit property from a deceased family member, you may need to show a NADRA family tree verification certificate to prove that you are a legal heir.
NADRA family tree verification is a quick and easy process. You can apply for it online or at a NADRA office. Once your application is processed, you will receive a certificate that lists all of your family members and their relationship to you.
