Smart ID scanning app launched

Rawalpindi Police have developed a special application for identification and scanning purposes.

Through the app, the criminal record of any individual, if available, can be checked instantly by scanning their national identity card. The application will also automatically store the data and photograph of every individual whose CNIC is scanned.

Sources said the app is more advanced than the existing system through which criminal records could be checked by entering a CNIC number. The new application includes several additional features. According to sources, once a citizen's identity card is scanned, the system immediately displays any criminal record or pending case linked to that individual.
