NADRA Birth Certificate Services in Pakistan

Get Your Child’s NADRA Birth Certificate

A NADRA Birth Certificate is one of the most important personal identification documents in Pakistan. It officially records a child’s birth and is required for school admission, passport applications, CNIC issuance, family registration, and even immigration abroad. Without it, a person’s legal identity remains incomplete.

Our law firm assists individuals and families across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi — as well as overseas Pakistanis — in obtaining their computerized NADRA Birth Registration Certificates quickly, legally, and without the usual bureaucratic hurdles.

We specialize in birth registrations, corrections, and reissuance through the proper local government and NADRA offices, ensuring you receive your certificate within 24–48 hours after registration.

Why a Birth Certificate Is Important

A birth certificate is not just a record — it’s your child’s first legal identity. It’s essential for:

  • School and university admission
  • Passport and visa applications
  • Immigration and family sponsorship abroad
  • CNIC issuance upon turning 18
  • Inheritance and nationality verification
  • Proof of parentage and age for legal purposes

Without a NADRA-issued certificate, your child’s future documentation — from CNIC to passport — can face unnecessary delays or even rejection.

How to Apply for a Birth Certificate from Abroad

Procedure for Overseas Pakistanis

  1. Prepare a Power of Attorney (PoA) attested by the Pakistani Embassy or Consulate.
  2. Send the attested PoA along with supporting documents (foreign birth certificate, CNICs, marriage certificate, etc.) to our law firm.
  3. Our legal team completes the registration and NADRA process in Pakistan.
  4. The certificate is delivered to you securely through international courier or scanned copy via email.

We’ve successfully handled hundreds of overseas birth certificate cases from the UK, UAE, USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and European countries.

Correction or Update in NADRA Birth Certificates

Mistakes in names, dates, or CNIC numbers can cause legal trouble later. We offer data correction and rectification services, including:

  • Spelling correction of child’s or parents’ names
  • Updating CNICs or addresses
  • Date of birth corrections
  • Replacing handwritten certificates with computerized versions

Our lawyers prepare affidavits, legal verifications, and supporting evidence required by NADRA or the Union Council to correct such records promptly.
