(Digital Itla) In a significant move to ensure transparency, accountability, and accurate data logging in the civil bureaucracy, the federal government has enforced new rules regarding foreign and dual nationalities for civil servants. Following the approval of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the Establishment Division issued the official notification for the "Civil Servants (Disclosure and Regulation of Foreign Nationality) Rules, 2026."

-
Mandatory Disclosure: All government officers are bound to provide complete information regarding foreign nationalities, passports, permanent residency statuses, or immigration details held by themselves, their spouses, and dependent children.
-
Penalties: Providing false information or deliberately concealing foreign ties will be treated as a severe violation, carrying penalties up to termination from service.
