| NADRA Marriage Certificate 2023 |
Before explaining
the procedure for obtaining marriage certificate, I would like to clarify the various
confusing terms which are used in routine when talking about marriage
certificate. These terms are (1) Manual Marriage Certificate (2) Computerized
Marriage Certificate (3) NADRA computerized Marriage Certificate (4) Marriage
Registration Certificate (5) MRC (6) NADRA Marriage Certificate (7)
Marriage Registration Certificate Union Council.
Except, Manual
Marriage Certificate, all the following
documents/terms (1) Computerized Marriage Certificate (2) NADRA
computerized Marriage Certificate (3) Marriage Registration Certificate (4)
MRC (5) NADRA Marriage Certificate (6) Marriage Registration
Certificate Union Council refer to same document and these terms can be spoken
interchangeably. This NADRA marriage certificate is issued by Union Council or
Cantonment Board and not by NADRA.
Many people might
be in confusion that a NADRA Marriage Certificate is issued by NADRA only and applicant
should visit NADRA office for issuance of NADRA marriage certificate but it is
not correct.
For obtaining
NADRA marriage certificate, you are not required to approach the NADRA office instead you have
to visit the concerned Union Council or
Cantonment Board.
The word NADRA
is used for marriage certificate for the reason that there is a link between
NADRA and union councils/ cantonment board for issuance of NADRA marriage
certificate. NADRA does not directly issue marriage certificate instead Union
Council/Cantonment Board issue NADRA
marriage certificate through the software developed by and linked with NADRA.
Union Council or Cantonment Board - Where to approach for NADRA Marriage Certificate

within the area falls within the jurisdiction of Union Council,
