On August 10, 2025, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) launched a simplified process for obtaining the Smart Pakistan Origin Card (POC).

NADRA POC card is intended for foreign nationals of Pakistani descent, specifically targeting individuals who have acquired foreign citizenship but have Pakistani origins, those with Pakistani parents or grandparents, as well as foreign spouses of Pakistani nationals. The POC serves as an important connection to Pakistan for these individuals.

To apply for the Smart POC, applicants must use a family member’s Pak ID account (parent, sibling, or child). The steps include:

  1. Log in to the Pak ID platform.
  2. Select “Apply for ID Card,” then “My blood relative.”
  3. Choose “No” and select “New POC.”
  4. Submit personal details, biometric data, a photograph, and supporting documents.

Processing times vary:

  • Executive: 7 days
  • Urgent: 12 days
  • Normal: 30 days

Once approved, the card is delivered to the applicant’s address, ensuring convenience.

The Smart POC offers significant advantages, including:

  • Visa-free entry to Pakistan
  • Right to live independently without registration
  • Authority to own property and open bank accounts
  • Streamlined immigration and employment opportunities

These benefits enhance connectivity and economic participation for the Pakistani diaspora.

The Smart POC initiative comes in response to NADRA’s advisory issued on August 6, which cautioned against sharing personal data with unauthorised platforms due to the risks of identity theft. The user-friendly process of the Smart POC is designed to align with NADRA’s updated Pak ID app, which was launched to enhance identity services, making them more accessible and secure.
