The following report is by Biometric Update:
The National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) in Pakistan has launched online ID verification that enables a consular officer to verify the identity of citizens living abroad for power-of-attorney (POA) needs.
Unveiled in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the service was piloted in 2021 and reportedly received positive responses from overseas Pakistanis.
It will enable citizens living abroad (more than 9 million, according to NADRA) to upload scanned documents and pictures and also to undergo verification through the registration authority’s Pak-ID online biometric verification services.
To complete the process, applicants and two witnesses upload their paper-based data, which is verified through the national database in real time, according to the government.
NADRA says the new service is part of an infrastructure that includes a video interview module through which consular officers at missions interview applicants and witnesses and notarize their consent to execute their power of attorney.
According to NADRA Chairman Tariq Malik, the new system will allow people (particularly those living far from an embassy or consulate) to exercise their right to give representative authority digitally with certainty about their identity physically and virtually.
Malik says 116 Pakistani diplomatic missions have been trained to deliver this service.
NADRA is now helping the government institutions capitalize on this digital transformation by taking performative action based on our analysis of human connections.
Malik says
More than 8,000 applicants reportedly have processed power-of-attorney applications from the United Kingdom and the United States in the past 16 months, with the most applications from London, New York and Houston. Also, roughly 1.5 million Pakistanis abroad have accessed the power-of-attorney site so far.
NADRA has recently created an alternative biometric system for elderly people with faded fingerprints.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Yet another step closer towards the mark of the beast. In this case the Pakistani tyrants need to know everyone is at all times, including abroad, to have their perfect surveillance – working towards that at least.
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:16-18
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Bunch of greasy stalkers. The only people who can cook up invasive, hyper surveillance stuff like these in their brains are the most paranoid, fearful bunch of individuals you’ll ever meet.
