No more ID card services at Post Offices

NADRA discontinued its identity card services at General Post Offices (GPOs) nationwide due to low public usage and lack of awareness. The initiative aimed to offer services like CNIC renewals and address updates at post offices to ease pressure on NADRA offices.

However, the counters saw minimal traffic, leading to their closure after just three years. Equipment from the closed counters will be transferred to local union councils to improve decentralized service delivery. Despite plans for awareness campaigns, these efforts were not fully executed. The closure affects 83 counters nationwide, including those in Karachi.
