Land records and property-related services in Islamabad have moved to a fully digital system, replacing traditional paper-based procedures with online processing through the unified Pak App.

The National Information Technology Board (NITB) and Islamabad Capital Territory Administration (ICTA) have launched end-to-end digitization of land records and property services across the federal capital.

The new system uses NADRA CNIC verification, biometric authentication and one-time passwords to secure property records and reduce the risk of fraud, impersonation and unauthorized transactions.

Citizens can now obtain their official Fard, or land ownership record, through their smartphones or at Citizen Facilitation Desks. The service is available round the clock.

Property sales, transfers and inheritance-related transactions will also be handled digitally. Relevant departments will exchange information electronically, while applicants will be able to monitor the progress of their land registry applications in real time.

The system is designed to ensure that property transactions are completed only after verifying the identity and consent of the actual owner.

Officials said NADRA-based verification would make it harder for third parties to manipulate land records and could reduce unauthorized changes and cash-based corruption.

The initiative is part of broader e-governance reforms in Islamabad. The Pak ID Mobile App is also being upgraded to allow citizens to register civil events, including births and marriages, from home.

Meanwhile, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) and ICT Administration have integrated electronic stamp papers with OneLink, allowing digital payments for property transfers.

The measures are aimed at making property services in Islamabad faster, more transparent and increasingly cashless.
