The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced the ‘Ijazat Aap Ki’ service to protect citizens’ data.
According to details provided by NADRA Chairman Tariq Malik, citizens will now have the decision of whether or not to give personal information.
With the citizen’s permission, the CNIC will also be verified, and the NADRA will keep the sensitive information secure.
Citizens now own their personal and family information just like they do their physical property.
