4. Mission Statement
 Mission Statement - appearing in the NADRA Ordinance, 2000
NADRA is unique in its paradigm because as a Public Sector organization, NADRA had been created with the sole
mission of registering citizens of Pakistan to issue them with a unique ID. The Mission Statement, as appearing in the
NADRA Ordinance,
2000 is as follows:-
"To introduce new, improved and modernized systems of registration, databases and data warehousing for the
country with their multiple beneficial uses and applications in order to achieve effective and efficient running of the
affairs of State and the general public"

5. The Reason for the Change of Mission Statement
• With the passage of time and success of the civil registration project, there came about a realization that NADRA's products
had commercial viability in the domestic and international market. Also, with the establishment of the NADRA Swift
Registration Centre (NSRC) and Mobile Registration Vehicle (MRV) network all over Pakistan, NADRA possessed the requisite
infrastructure to undertake any large scale public sector project involving data acquisition.
• Another stimulus was the lack of government funding and the need to become self-reliant. Therefore, the Mission and
Vision of NADRA were changed to include a commercialized aspect to NADRA's products and services.
NADRA's renewed Mission Statement is defined as follows:
"To create and maintain a secure, authentic and dynamic database that comprehensively covers the demographic,
geographic, social and statistical aspects of the citizens of Pakistan and provide to our own and foreign
governments effective homeland security solutions and assistance in good governance. We shall develop
ourselves as a 'Learning Organization' in a culture that fosters creativity, innovation, commitment, dedication,
continuous improvement and a desire to excel by its employees".

6. Vision Statement
“ A Catalyst for Change NADRA is the most modern organization which will provide base for the better governance of Pakistan
and will also prove as a model organization for Public Sector of Pakistan. “
NADRAS Changed Statement of Vision In 2006, the vision statement was changed to:
 Become a World Class, leading Solution Provider in all areas of Homeland Security.
 Develop Human Potential that is considered the best in the word.
 Register all Pakistani Residents and Citizens.
 Become a World Leader in Technology Development.
 Develop System Integration excellence to implement and integrate proven, state-of-the-art technologies to achieve specific
business objective.

7. Company Way of Working
 The main goal of NADRA is to register all citizen base of Pakistan; the company needs to set up operations in far
flung areas where it is not cost effective to do so. On the other hand, NADRA is also self revenue generating
authority that needs to return on investment in order to sustain itself. NADRA balances the act of a national
organization of strategic importance and commercially viable business entity.

 Local clients
 International clients
