The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will remain closed on Sunday, October 25, 2026, due to administrative reasons, according to an official notice.
NADRA has informed Pakistani citizens residing in Saudi Arabia about the temporary closure and apologised for any inconvenience it may cause. However, all identity card and identification services will remain available through NADRA’s Pak ID mobile application, allowing citizens to access services from their mobile phones during the closure.
The authority has advised Pakistanis to use the digital platform to access the available services while the Riyadh office remains closed. On the other hand, NADRA has cautioned overseas Pakistanis against sharing their personal information with unauthorised individuals or organisations falsely claiming to represent the authority.
In an advisory, NADRA clarified that it has not authorised any consultants, agents or dealers to process identity documents or submit online applications on its behalf. The authority said overseas Pakistanis could access its services through NADRA Registration Centres and designated counters operating at Pakistani embassies abroad.
Details of these facilities are available on NADRA’s official website. NADRA further emphasised that its online services are offered exclusively through the Pak ID mobile application and its official websites ending in gov.pk.
