Sindh vehicle Transfers Mobile App launched by Nadra 2026 Step by Step Guide
In a landmark move toward digital governance and citizen convenience, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced mobile app–based biometric verification for vehicle ownership transfers in Sindh. The new facility allows buyers and sellers to verify their identity remotely through the Pak-Identity App, eliminating the need for repeated physical visits to NADRA or e-facilitation centres.
This initiative has been launched in collaboration with the Government of Sindh and the Sindh Excise and Taxation Department, marking a significant step in Pakistan’s transition toward fully digital public services.
🚗 What Has Changed in Vehicle Transfers?
Previously, biometric verification was mandatory for vehicle ownership transfer, but both parties were required to physically visit NADRA centres to complete fingerprint verification. Under the new system:
- Biometric verification can now be completed at home
- Verification is done using the Pak-Identity App
- Only the remaining documentation and processing require a visit to the excise office
This upgrade dramatically reduces queues, delays, and inconvenience for citizens—particularly senior citizens, women, and working professionals.
📱 How the Pak-Identity App Biometric Verification Works
The process has been designed to be simple, secure, and user-friendly:
- Download Pak-Identity App from official app stores
- Create/Login using your CNIC details
- Select Biometric Verification option
- Scan fingerprints using the mobile device
- Verification is securely transmitted to NADRA systems
- Once approved, proceed with vehicle transfer at the excise office
Officials confirm that NADRA’s encryption and identity security standards ensure data safety at every step.
