Pak ID app 5.8.0: family digital IDs, B-Form QR check and Umrah vaccine verification

NADRA has released version 5.8.0 of the Pak ID app with three new features: digital ID cards for your family, a QR scanner to verify B-Forms and cancellation certificates, and biometric verification of Hajj and Umrah vaccinations, ProPakistani and ARY News reported on Saturday 26 September 2026. NADRA has asked users to update the app to get them.

The three new features

1. Digital ID cards for your spouse and children

You can now obtain, store and share the digital identity cards of your spouse and eligible children inside your own Pak ID account, alongside your own card. For a family that keeps losing track of whose CNIC copy is where, this means one phone can show every card when a school, bank or hospital asks.

2. Scan a QR code to verify a B-Form or cancellation certificate

A new "Scan QR Code" option reads the QR code printed on a Child Registration Certificate (B-Form) or an Identity Card Cancellation Certificate and shows the verified record from NADRA. Use it before you accept a B-Form for school admission or a passport application, or when you need proof that an old CNIC was cancelled.

3. Hajj and Umrah vaccination verification

The app now handles biometric verification of the influenza and meningitis vaccinations that pilgrims need for Hajj and Umrah. If you are going on Umrah this winter, get vaccinated at an authorised centre first, then complete the verification in the app.

How to update

1. Open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and search "Pak ID".
2. Tap Update, and check that the version is 5.8.0 or later.
3. Log in with your registered mobile number and complete face verification if the app asks.

NADRA's announcement mentioned no new fees for these features. Card fees themselves have not changed: see what a new, renewed or modified CNIC costs with our NADRA fee calculator, and track a pending application with our NADRA tracking ID guide.

Watch out for fakes

Only download Pak ID from the official app stores. NADRA warned this month about fake "NADRA card center" websites that take money for services the app offers for less (how to spot one). NADRA has also invited users to suggest further features through the app.
