NADRA Alerts Punjab Residents About Fraudulent Arms License Websites

October 19, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

LAHORE: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued a critical warning to citizens in Punjab regarding the proliferation of fraudulent websites targeting individuals seeking civilian arms licenses. This alert comes as scammers exploit the online landscape to deceive applicants, posing significant risks to public safety and trust.

NADRA’s announcement highlights that these cybercriminals have created sophisticated fake platforms that mimic official channels, making it difficult for unsuspecting users to discern authenticity. The authority urges citizens to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of any website before submitting personal information or payments.

This warning underscores the growing threat of cybercrime in Pakistan, particularly as more citizens turn to online services for essential documentation. The misuse of digital platforms not only jeopardizes individual safety but also undermines the integrity of regulatory processes, potentially leading to an increase in illegal arms circulation.

In response to this alarming trend, NADRA is expected to enhance its public awareness campaigns and collaborate with law enforcement agencies to track down and prosecute those responsible for these fraudulent activities. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious websites or activities to the authorities to help combat this issue.
