Getting a domicile certificate in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) used to be a tedious and time-consuming process that involved visiting government offices, filling out lengthy forms, and waiting for weeks to receive the document. But not anymore. Thanks to the KP government’s innovative initiative, citizens can now apply for their domicile certificates online, using a simple and user-friendly website.
The e-domicile system, launched in January 2024, aims to modernise and improve public convenience by streamlining the application process and reducing the burden on residents across various districts of the province. Through the website cfc.kp.gov.pk, citizens can easily apply for their domicile certificates, whether on a mobile device or computer, by attaching the necessary documents and providing their fingerprints through the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA). This ensures the secure storage of applicant data with the government, enhancing the overall integrity and reliability of the process.
The online system also eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming visits to government offices, providing a more efficient and convenient solution for the people. The move has garnered positive feedback from residents, who express satisfaction with the newfound ease of acquiring domicile certificates. The government, in turn, gains access to detailed citizen information at the village council and neighborhood council levels, contributing to more effective governance.
The e-domicile system is a progressive move towards modernisation and enhanced citizen convenience, and a testament to the KP government’s commitment to improving the quality of life of its people. It is also a step towards leveraging the potential of digital technology to transform the way public services are delivered in the province.
