This system generates unique citizen identification numbers for entire population. The Registration system integrates biometric technologies such as Automated Finger Identification Systems (AFIS) and Facial Recognition Systems and is capable of providing identity verification to all integral Government departments. The system can meet any standards required by the customer, including ISO 7810 and ICAO 9303 compliant ID cards. NADRA provides integration services for all types of ID technologies as per the clients’ requirement including Smart Card, RFID cards, Java cards and microprocessor based cards. The end-to-end registration system ensures authenticity of individual & documents through visual as well as electronic means. NADRA provides the following services to its clients: Evaluate possible technologies and solutions for the project . Develop a new Identification numbering scheme . Define technical standards based on requirements and evaluation Define system security standards . Undertake a system analysis and design study of the manual process, to identify gaps in the system Perform Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) of the existing procedures Develop data acquisition methodologies and identify data fields required to be captured Identify required technologies pertaining to: Data Acquisition Data Communication Data Processing Secure Document Production & Document Delivery components Design Data Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) plan for the project Develop requirements for integration with other government bodies Identify Hardware & Software to implement a state-of-the-art system Interactive Registration: NADRA has the ability to provide its clients with Multi-biometric Interactive Registration Centers that can be designed as a one widow solution that makes good use of latest data enrollment technology to gather data directly from the applicants thereby eliminating erroneous data processing. The interactive data capturing not only uses customized software for on-the-spot data entry, but also employs software that captures an individual’s photograph as per ICAO standards and biometric technology to capture fingerprints. The data gathered at the acquisition centers is sent directly to the Data Warehouse for processing and finally to printing of secured documents. NADRA has successfully implemented the Multi-Biometric National Identity Card System based on Teslin® for Pakistan. Till date over 96 million citizens have been registered and over 68 million ID cards produced. National Data Warehouse: NADRA has established the National Data Warehouse to cater the influx of huge data. This central repository stores demographic and geographic data of the citizen and processes applicant’s records for the issuance of multiple secure documents after exhaustive verification through automated biometric facial and fingerprint recognition and verification systems. All the applications running in data warehouse are designed and developed in-house, which caters for all needs of automated processing, personalization and verification with minimum human intervention. Some of the data warehouse applications are: Phonetics – probably the fastest search engine which searches on the basis of names Family Identification – provide vertical and horizontal family linkages Verisys – web based verification system Registration Tracking – tracks applicant’s application through-out the life cycle of processing Disaster recovery and replication module

Civil Registration Management System       The Civil Registration Management System (CRMS) has been by developed by NADRA for the registration of four vital events i.e: Birth, Death, Marriage and Divorce. The scope of CRMS is to automate all the local governments in a country and provide computerized registration and certificate issuance of the vital events. The system provides up-to-date status reporting facilities for selected events, while providing business decision models for strategic decision making. NADRA has successfully developed and implemented CRMS for Pakistan at the grass-roots level, with online, web based connectivity for provisioning of monitoring facilities to designated Government officials.

  Machine Readable Seafarer Identity Document   

As a sequence of establishing measures and procedures to prevent acts of terrorism that threaten the security of passengers, crews and the safety of ships, NADRA has developed “Machine Readable Seafarer’s Identity Document” (MRSID) solution.

NADRA is issuing MRSID to Pakistani sailors in compliance with International Labor Organization Convention (ILO) C-185. The MRSID issued by NADRA is not only vital in enhancing security at seaports but also in facilitating international mercantile naval activities. The salient features of MRSID are:

• Compliance of ILO-SID-0002 standard, which contains Finger Minutiae- Based Biometrics Profile in PDF417 Barcode
• Incorporation of Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) as per the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards
• Card layout has been designed according to the specifications provided by ICAO for Machine-Readable Travel Documents (MRTD)
• The Card has security features specified by ILO C-185 which includes but are not limited to heat sealed lamination, ultraviolet security feature and watermark
• Printing of Issuance Authority Signatures along with the official seal
• Use of PVC material as card substrate to counter extreme weather conditions at sea
