Scanning Operator - Lahore Region (Project Based)

About This Job

NADRA has opened a project-based Scanning Operator position at the DRO Office on Abbot Road, Lahore, as part of a temporary initiative to digitize and archive its legacy records. Only residents of Lahore, verified through CNIC and domicile, are eligible to apply for this contract role, which the authority is filling through its online careers portal ahead of the stated closing date. The opening gives Lahore-based candidates a short-term but paid entry into a government-linked digitization project. The initiative is part of NADRA's broader, nationwide push to digitize decades of paper-based citizen records held at its regional and district offices, and gives Lahore-based applicants a genuine, if temporary, opportunity to work with a federal government institution located centrally on Abbot Road.

Applicants must hold at least an Intermediate (HSSC) certificate or an equivalent qualification, and the age ceiling is fixed at 25 years — a figure that already builds in the usual five-year relaxation, so no further age concession will be considered. Successful candidates will archive old NADRA records and are required to scan a minimum of 400 pages daily, working across rotating morning, evening and night shifts, six days a week, and must be prepared to work whichever shift they are assigned. The role does not require prior professional experience, making it accessible to recent Intermediate-level graduates who meet the residency and age conditions. NADRA has explicitly welcomed applications from students, women, minorities, transgender persons and differently-abled candidates for this role. Anyone already employed by a government or semi-government organization must additionally produce a No Objection Certificate when called for interview.

Candidates are required to apply online at careers.nadra.gov.pk, attaching a CV, an educational board certificate, and CNIC/Domicile documentation, since paper or walk-in applications will not be entertained for this round. Shortlisted applicants must bring their original educational and professional documents to the interview, where mobile phones, smart watches and similar electronic devices are prohibited, and no TA/DA will be paid for attending. The engagement runs on a purely contractual basis for three months (90 days), extendable depending on project needs, pays a base salary of Rs. 40,000 per month on top of a per-scanned-form incentive to be fixed by NADRA, and carries no entitlement to permanent or regular NADRA service. Because the number of seats is limited to what the Lahore office actually needs and the process closes on a fixed date, candidates are encouraged to complete their online application well before the deadline rather than waiting until the last day. Interested candidates should complete their online application before the deadline of October 11, 2026.
