"When Pakistan launched its National Alien Registration Authority (NARA) in January 2002 to address the perceived problem of illegal immigration, an estimated 3.3 million non-citizens were residing unlawfully in the country, close to two million in the southern city of Karachi alone." (HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN) This article notes that the difficulties NARA is having in documenting illegal residents is related to the "difficulties inherent in differentiating 'real' Pakistanis from non-citizen 'impostors'."
