How to Get Computerized Weapon License from NADRA???

[Mugwop]

National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) and Interior Department of Punjab have joined hands for a new computerized system that makes it easy to renew your existing arms license or cancel the arms license if required.
NADRA is currently not issuing new arms licenses, instead only old arms licenses are computerized / renewed by NADRA.

Also note that computerized Arms licenses from NADRA may take up to 12 months or even two years, as they are computerized after verification from local DCO / original issuer of arms licenses.

The new system is called Computerized Arms License System (CALS).

To identify fake arms licenses, and to provide satisfaction and protection against crimes, NADRA has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Punjab government to issue computerized arms licenses in the province.

In the initial phase, the smart cards will replace the old (traditional) arms licenses in 9 districts of Punjab, as well as in Islamabad, Lahore, Sargodha, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta, Hyderabad, Sukkar and Karachi.

If you still have the old arms license, you can apply for the new computerized NADRA arms license. This is because the government plans on cracking down on people who carry bare weapons and arms and have old arms licenses, according to the law.

How To Apply For Renewal of Arms License
Submit Rs. 1,400 in UBL Omni. (Note: this is a non-refundable annual fee for weapon license).
Submit your application for arms / weapon license in your respective district’s Deputy Commissioner Office.
Visit the nearest NADRA center or facilitation center.
Submit original deposit slip.
Submit original copy of old arms license.
Submit two recent passport size photographs.
The applicant will be given a token after complete attestation of their documents.

Furthermore, applicants have to go through bio-metric verification, digital photography and similar systems to complete their request.

Upon successfully clearing each step, the applicant will be handed a new computerized temporary permit and the old license will be cancelled.

Arms License Card Information
NADRA aims to make the arms license cards “foolproof and highly secure” by introducing multiple security features. The arms license card will carry electronic data of the arms and the owner of it for instant machine use and integration with other verification systems.

Here are some of the features of the card that NADRA is offering:

Verification of applicant particulars through NADRA’s Verisys.
Card bears weapon information for instant verification.
Weapon Owner Track-ability through CNIC.
Foolproof and Secure Document by introducing various security features in the card.
Machine readability through bar code for integration with other checking/Verification systems.
Secure Lamination on both sides with GOP Logos that are visible under ultraviolet light.

That is way of exerting Political dominance,person having Political connections would get a licence of PB or NPB class in a week,while a common citizen would have to wait for several months for even getting a NPB licence.
Weapon licence/permits are also part showering one's own political henchmen.

We Pakhtuns Love Our Weapons And Attempt To Make It Difficult To Get It Will Be Deeply Unpopular And Will Only Promote An Underground Economy Of Weaponry

Guns should be treated like drugs or the reverse order should be applied

Now, the system and process will be similar in all the provinces. However, provincial licenses are banned at the moment and IMO, same goes for federal as well.

Previously, in case of KPK, having a weapon was the part & parcel of society/culture/tradition that either it was authority or the possessor, both understood the same as well as due to close proximity and relations, it was never hard to witness for others. People use to obtain license within 2 or 3 days because everyone had links or being relatives to the some extent.

Currently, there is complete ban on fresh licenses but if anyone had submitted computerized request to NADRA against old/manual license or issued through commissioners; can be issued with new readable book.
