BRIDGE // Identity / NADRA
NADRA-grade KYC
for Pakistan.
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) is the source of truth for Pakistani identity. Bridge integrates with NADRA via Verisys so fintechs, banks, and remittance providers can verify CNIC, match biometrics, and confirm addresses against the national identity database.
Why NADRA matters
If your product touches Pakistani customers, NADRA verification is the only path to acceptable risk. Document-only KYC against a national identity is not a substitute. Bridge gives you a production-ready integration so you can start verifying on day one.
NADRA holds biometric records for substantially every adult Pakistani.
Bridge connects via Verisys, NADRA's authorised verification partner for non-government users.
Real-time CNIC verification, name matching, and address confirmation.
