NADRA stands for the National Database and Registration Authority. It is an independent and autonomous agency of the Government of Pakistan responsible for maintaining a centralized national database of Pakistani citizens. NADRA issues Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs), which serve as the primary identification document for citizens. Additionally, NADRA oversees various registration and verification services related to identity, such as birth registration, marriage registration, and the verification of identity documents for various purposes.
