Despite common public belief, NADRA does not issue death certificates directly, and there is no online NADRA death certificate verification portal.
Death certificates are issued by local civil registration authorities, while NADRA only verifies civil records through its CRMS β Civil Registration Management System.
Since NADRA does not issue death certificates directly:
β’ No NADRA online death certificate verification exists
β’ The issuing authority does verification
β’ QR codes authenticate records nationally & internationally
