The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has warned citizens against fake tracking IDs and misleading information being circulated on social media platforms.
A NADRA spokesperson said tracking IDs are never issued through comments on social media in order to protect citizens personal data. Citizens have been advised not to share their tracking IDs in the comments sections of NADRA social media accounts under any circumstances.
The authority urged citizens to rely only on its official sources and verified platforms for information and assistance related to NADRA services.
For queries regarding tracking ID cases, citizens can send an SMS to 8400, contact the NADRA helpline at 051-111-786-100, or call 1777 from a mobile phone. Citizens can also use the PakID mobile application for related services.
NADRA further advised the public not to trust unverified links, accounts or messages circulating on social media and stressed the need to protect personal identity and data.
Separately, NADRA had earlier stated that before applying for a child B-Form at a NADRA office or through the PakID app, the Computerized National Identity Cards of both parents must be active and valid.
The authority also said the personal data of both parents must be properly registered in its database, including accurate records of personal information, parents names, spouse names, and ID card numbers.
