Lifetime ID cards for special citizens, organ donors

The federal government has approved significant amendments to the NADRA Rules, 2002, under Section 44 of the NADRA Ordinance, 2000.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday, these amendments aim to enhance inclusivity, streamline documentation, and address the unique needs of specific segments of the population.

One of the key changes is the issuance of distinct identity cards for special persons with lifetime validity. Special citizens, both resident and non-resident, recognized by federal or provincial entities, will be eligible for NICs featuring a wheelchair logo and lifetime validity.
