The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) have introduced a digital Power of Attorney (PoA) service with the aim of providing convenience to overseas Pakistanis. This user-friendly online service is designed to address the challenges faced by expatriates in physically accessing Pakistani missions abroad. The initiative by NADRA seeks to streamline the process of granting power of attorney to individuals residing in Pakistan, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.
The newly introduced digital Power of Attorney service allows Pakistani diaspora members holding a valid National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP), Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC), or Pakistan Origin Card (POC) to empower any person in Pakistan through a straightforward six-step online procedure.
To initiate the digital power of attorney application, applicants must meet specific criteria, including being an overseas Pakistani. Furthermore, the provision of valid identity documents such as CNIC/NICOP/POC for the executor(s), witnesses, and attorney is crucial. Additionally, applicants need to provide a valid email address, contact number, and mailing address outside of Pakistan. This initiative is a step towards facilitating overseas Pakistanis and simplifying the legal processes for them.
