The ‘All-in-One’ kit is anticipated to have immense potential for national identification programs and voter registration initiatives, benefitting law enforcement agencies as well. This integration of advanced technology signifies a transformative step towards modernizing identity management systems.
The introduction of the digital identity kit is expected to streamline identity document issuance at NADRA centers nationwide and bolster Pakistani international trade through global sales.
