The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has announced that services at its Madinah Registration Center in Saudi Arabia will resume on Sunday, July 12, 2026. This comes after a temporary suspension during the Hajj season, which began on April 12, 2026, following instructions from the Consulate General of Pakistan in Jeddah.
According to NADRA, the office will resume operations as part of the completion of Hajj-related arrangements and directives from Saudi authorities. The center serves Pakistani nationals living in Madinah and nearby areas, providing essential registration and identity services locally.
During the suspension period, NADRA increased staffing at its Jeddah Registration Center to handle the additional demand for identity and registration services among Pakistani citizens. The authority also encouraged overseas Pakistanis to use its Pak ID mobile application for many of their service needs or to contact the Consulate General of Pakistan in Jeddah for further assistance.
NADRA had previously stated that services would resume once the pilgrimage concluded, ensuring a smooth transition back to normal operations. The move is expected to benefit thousands of Pakistani nationals residing in Madinah and nearby regions who require these essential services.
The restoration of services at the Madinah Registration Center marks an important step towards maintaining the convenience and accessibility of NADRA’s services for the Pakistani community abroad, particularly during critical times such as the Hajj season.
