How Umrah travellers can get NADRA digital vaccination certificate

Umrah pilgrims travelling from Pakistan can obtain a digital vaccination certificate by completing their vaccination and registering their details through the NADRA system.

The administration said travellers are required to register through the NADRA Pak ID app, while people travelling abroad can also register through NADRA e-Sahulat centres.

The federal government has linked the vaccination system with NADRA and digitised the issuance of vaccination certificates to help prevent forgery.

According to the administration, Umrah pilgrims are required to receive influenza and meningitis vaccinations before travelling.

Travellers have been advised to complete the vaccination process at least 10 days before their scheduled departure to avoid delays in obtaining the required certificate.

In Karachi, a vaccination centre has been established at the Federal Civil Dispensary near the Old Terminal for travellers seeking vaccination and certification.

Officials said the digital system is intended to make vaccination records easier to verify and reduce the possibility of fraudulent certificates.
