National Database and Registration Authority (Alien Registration Card) Rules, 2021

These rules mandate the registration of eligible foreigners with the National Database and Registration Authority, excluding Afghan nationals, Pakistan Origin Card holders, and holders of any valid Pakistani visa. Registered foreigners are issued identification cards granting them rights to work, travel, access basic services, and legal protections regarding residency status upon satisfying specific residency or imprisonment criteria. The framework establishes a Law Enforcement Committee to oversee implementation, provides for digital card integration, and sets fee structures for registration, renewals, and work permits.
