The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has provided a new facility to Pakistanis residing in the UAE.
In a social media message, NADRA stated that the NADRA Mobile Registration Team, along with the team of the Pakistan Consulate, will reach Ras Al Khaimah.
Pakistani citizens residing in Ras Al Khaimah can easily obtain new identity documents, make changes or renewals, and get modifications done.
In the state of Ras Al Khaimah, on Sunday, 15 February 2026, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, citizens can approach the Mobile Registration Team at Pakistan Center Ras Al Khaimah.
Additionally, overseas Pakistanis who wish to obtain NICOP or other identity documents, or want to renew or modify them, should only use the Pak ID mobile app, visit the Pakistani Consulate in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or come to Pakistan and visit a NADRA office regarding identity documents.
Citizens who use NADRA’s Pak ID app neither have to stand in queues nor wait, as all services and facilities are available to them directly on their mobile phones.
In separate news, Pakistan has set a target of creating job opportunities for 800,000 of its citizens in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in 2026.
The initiative forms part of wider reforms focused on enhancing skills, addressing challenges on overseas employment and strengthening the economy at national level.
According to Khaleej Times, the government is implementing some extensive measures to simplify the procedures for employment overseas and to safeguard the rights of workers better.
Officials are also seeking to match local workforce skills with the needs of the global labour markets, a move that is said to be important for Pakistan’s economic improvement.
The United Arab Emirates and other GCC nations remain the primary destinations of Pakistani workers.
Currently more than nine million Pakistanis are living and working in GCC countries contributing to the regional labour markets but playing an important role in supporting the economy of Pakistan through their remittances.
