ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and NADRA Technologies Limited (NTL) have launched the biometric verification service for telecom companies and license applicants.
According to a press release issued here on Friday this new facility will enable applicants to complete their identity verification process with ease and efficiency.
The countrywide network of NADRA e-Sahulat franchisees will be used for biometric verification of the officials of telecom service providers. This program follows a formal agreement between PTA and NTL, to facilitate the identity verification process of telecom service providers applying for licenses.
Under this new system, PTA will create a profile for each applicant, applying for a PTA license. Once the applicant receives their tracking ID, they need to visit the nearest e-Sahulat outlet and present the tracking ID along with their original CNIC for biometric verification. The result will then be transmitted to PTA securely, ensuring a seamless and secure process.
This partnership is expected to significantly expedite and simplify the licensing process for telecom services across the country, contributing to a more efficient and robust telecom infrastructure.
