Pakistan will launch a facial recognition system in the new year designed to help those who cannot complete biometric authentication with their fingerprints.
The South Asian country’s National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) will roll out a face biometrics verification service which will be available via the Pak-ID mobile app and at NADRA registration centers across the country. The initiative begins January and intends to reduce delays and provide better services, especially to the elderly and others who may experience issues due to faded fingerprints.
