In Pakistan, a NADRA marriage certificate is an official document issued by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) to legally certify a marriage. This computerized marriage certificate serves as proof of the marital union and is often required for legal, immigration, and official purposes both within Pakistan and internationally. It contains important details such as the names of the bride and groom, their CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) numbers, marriage date, and place of marriage.
The marriage certificate issued by NADRA is recognized nationwide and can be verified easily through their system. Verification of a marriage certificate is important for various reasons, such as applying for visas, changing names on official documents, and settling inheritance claims. The process involves obtaining the certificate from the local Union Council where the marriage took place and then registering it with NADRA to receive the computerized version.
