By The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has announced a special mobile registration drive in the United Kingdom aimed at facilitating overseas Pakistanis with essential identity document services. The initiative is part of NADRA’s continued efforts to bring registration services closer to Pakistani communities abroad and reduce dependence on permanent registration centers and diplomatic missions.
According to the official announcement, the mobile registration drive will take place on Saturday, January 24, 2026, with mobile teams operating from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (local time). During this time, overseas Pakistanis will be able to access a wide range of NADRA services without the need to travel long distances or book appointments at fixed facilities.
Services Available During the Drive
NADRA’s mobile teams will facilitate new applications, modifications, renewals, and reprints of Smart NICOP (SNICOP) and Smart Pakistan Origin Card (SPOC). Services will also cover cases involving lost cards, ensuring applicants can quickly initiate replacements. In addition, the teams will process cancellations of NICOP and SNICOP and provide Family Registration Certificate (FRC) clearance services, which are often required for immigration, legal, and official purposes.
Designated Locations in the UK
To maximize outreach, NADRA has designated two locations for the mobile drive. In the Birmingham region, services will be available at Jamia Hanfia Ghosia Mosque, located at 24 Princess Street, Burton upon Trent. Meanwhile, in the Bradford region, the mobile registration unit will operate at 26A Thoresby Avenue, Doncaster.
Supporting Overseas Pakistanis
NADRA stated that this mobile registration drive reflects its commitment to improving access to identity services for overseas Pakistanis and ensuring timely processing of official documents. Such initiatives are particularly beneficial for elderly applicants, families, and individuals residing far from major cities.
Overseas Pakistanis planning to visit the mobile centers are advised to bring original supporting documents and arrive early to avoid queues, as services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
