The Pakistan Engineering Council rolled out a digital E-Card for engineers on an unspecified date, complete with live verification, dynamic QR codes, and better identity checks. According to the council, the rollout falls under its ongoing mission to update its offerings and supply engineers with a secure digital identity. Officials promoted the credential using the slogan "Digital Identity, Digital Trust," pointing to a strong emphasis on digital verification. Furthermore, the organization verified that the new card debuts as part of the wider Smart PEC project, which bundles multiple digital services for the profession.
PEC E-Card Features
Three main elements make up the digital E-Card to boost identity checks for engineers. A dynamic QR code serves as the first element, offering a digital way to review an engineer credentials. The second element brings live verification, which permits digital credential checks through a specific process. Stronger verification makes up the third element, raising trust in the validity of engineering credentials. Promotional materials from the council present these three elements as core parts of the fresh digital identity platform.
Part of the Smart PEC Initiative
The E-Card joins a group of digital projects launched by the Pakistan Engineering Council under the Smart PEC program. The program is designed to update council operations, raise transparency, and expand access to engineering services, as stated by PEC. Additional digital tools rolled out by the council consist of the Brain Gain Portal, a digital engineering map, and the PEC Live Mobile App. All these tools belong to broader steps by PEC to upgrade digital services for engineers while reinforcing professional registration and verification platforms.
How Engineers Can Verify Their Registration
An online verification platform is already maintained by the Pakistan Engineering Council to let people inspect engineer registration data. Anyone can use the Smart PEC platform to reach the verification system and look up an engineer through appropriate registration details. QR code functionality arrives with the digital E-Card to reinforce digital identity checks. Official registration, verification, and other digital services can be found by engineers on the official PEC website. Promotional statements from the council omit details on whether engineers need to submit separate applications for the E-Card or if the cards will be distributed automatically. Issuance fees are left unmentioned in the announcement, and the timeline for general availability to registered engineers remains unconfirmed.
