NADRA Introduces Automated Birth Registration with New Digital Tool

Islamabad: Pakistan’s National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched a new Birth Notification Tool to automate the birth registration process. The system sends an automatic SMS to parents once a child is registered at any hospital, ensuring early initiation of legal identity creation. The service, already active in Sindh and Punjab, will expand to Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa soon. NADRA’s initiative aims to align civil registration with global standards, reduce delays, and simplify the process at the Union Council level. Hospitals, identity cards, and SMS notifications are all valid for completing registration.
