The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched a new initiative offering lifetime Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs) to Pakistani citizens who voluntarily pledge to donate their organs.

These Smart National Identity Cards will carry a green heart symbol as a mark of humanitarian contribution.

Eligible individuals aged 18 or above can obtain the marked Smart National Identity Card (SNIC) or National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) by visiting any NADRA registration centre.

The feature is also accessible via the Pak-ID mobile application.
