BISP Facial Recognition System
The Government of Pakistan has taken an important step to support deserving women through the BISP Facial Recognition System. Many women who are part of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) have been facing difficulties in receiving their payments due to thumb verification issues in the Biometric Verification System (BVS).
To solve this problem, BISP has partnered with NADRA to introduce a modern and easy solution using facial recognition technology. This system ensures that no deserving woman is left without financial support due to biometric problems.
Who Can Benefit from the BISP Facial Recognition System
The BISP Facial Recognition System is specially designed for:
- Women already registered in the BISP program
- Beneficiaries whose thumb verification fails
- Women who are unable to receive payments due to biometric errors
This initiative is a big relief for thousands of women who were previously unable to access their financial assistance.
Role of NADRA in the BISP Facial Recognition System
NADRA plays a key role in implementing the BISP Facial Recognition System. To ensure the procedure is simple and within reach for everyone:
- NADRA mobile registration vans are being deployed across the country
- These vans are available at BISP regional offices
- Women can also visit their nearest NADRA office
This ensures that women in both urban and rural areas can easily complete their verification.
Step-by-Step Procedure for Verification
The government has made the process of the BISP Facial Recognition System simple and user-friendly. Follow these steps:
- Visit the nearest NADRA mobile registration van or NADRA office
- Carry your original CNIC with you
- First, thumb verification will be attempted
- If thumb verification fails, facial recognition will be used for identification
This step ensures that women who cannot verify through fingerprints still have a reliable alternative.

Certificate Issuance Process
After successful verification through the BISP Facial Recognition System:
- NADRA will issue a verification certificate
- The fee for this certificate is only Rs. 20
- This certificate confirms your identity verification
This document is very important for the next step in the process.
Registration at BISP Office
Once you receive the certificate:
- Visit your nearest BISP office
- Submit the NADRA-issued certificate
- Complete your registration in the BISP system
After registration, you will receive a confirmation message on your mobile phone, indicating that your process is complete.
Payment Notification and Collection
After completing the registration process:
- You will receive a message from 8171
- This message will inform you that your payment has been transferred
- After receiving the message, you can collect your money from your nearest BISP payment center
The BISP Facial Recognition System ensures that payments are delivered without unnecessary delays.
Benefits of the BISP Facial Recognition System
This new system brings many benefits for women, including:
- No dependency on thumb verification
- Faster and more reliable identity verification
- Easy access through mobile vans and NADRA offices

Overall, the BISP Facial Recognition System makes the process more transparent and accessible.
Important Instructions for Beneficiaries
