Scanning Operator - Peshawar Region (Project Based)

About This Job

NADRA has announced a project-based Scanning Operator vacancy at its Regional Office in Peshawar, as part of an ongoing effort to digitize and archive old departmental records. The opportunity is reserved for residents of Peshawar, confirmed through CNIC and domicile records, and applications are being accepted exclusively through NADRA's official online careers portal ahead of the closing date. It offers local candidates a short-term, paid role supporting a government records-digitization drive. The initiative forms part of NADRA's broader nationwide effort to digitize decades of paper-based citizen records held across its regional offices, giving Peshawar-based applicants a genuine, though temporary, opportunity with a federal government institution.

Applicants must have completed at least Intermediate (HSSC) or an equivalent qualification, and the maximum age allowed is 25 years, a limit that already incorporates the standard five-year age relaxation, meaning no further relaxation will be granted. Those selected will archive legacy NADRA records and must scan a minimum of 400 pages each working day, operating across rotating morning, evening and night shifts over a six-day week, and should be prepared to work any shift assigned to them. The role requires no prior professional experience, making it accessible to recent Intermediate-level graduates who satisfy the residency and age conditions. NADRA has specifically invited students, women, members of minority communities, transgender persons and differently-abled candidates to apply for this role. Candidates who are already employed in a government or semi-government department must additionally present a No Objection Certificate at the interview stage.

To apply, candidates must submit their application online at careers.nadra.gov.pk along with a CV, an educational board certificate, and their CNIC/Domicile, since only online submissions will be considered for this recruitment round. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed and must bring original educational and professional documents; mobile phones, smart watches and other electronic devices are not permitted at the interview, and no TA/DA will be reimbursed for attending. The role is strictly contractual for an initial three months (90 days), extendable based on project requirements, offers a base salary of Rs. 40,000 per month plus a per-scanned-form incentive determined by NADRA, and does not lead to permanent or regular employment with the authority. Since the number of seats is limited to what the Peshawar office actually needs and the application window closes on a fixed date, candidates are encouraged to submit their online application well ahead of the deadline rather than waiting until the last day. Interested applicants should submit their applications before the closing date of October 11, 2026.
