Hi friends,

Can anyone suggest how to get translation of marriage certificate in Pakistan? Secondly, do we need to get our computerized national ID card translation as well or it is not required to submit?


Thanks.

Hi there,

Its really simple. Go to the 'kacheree' of your city and provide them your original nikah nama. They will translate and attest it in english. That is all you need. Wont cost more than 500 rupees.

Not sure about CNIC. Which city btw?

Good luck.

If I have computerized marriage certificate (English) , do I need to upload marriage certificate(original) in Urdu Language as well?

The computerized English is considered original as it can be verified directly from the government.

For NIC, you will also have to get NICOP or SMart nicop which is in english. However, you will not need NICOP during the whole process unless you want to claim points for a sibling residing in Canada, with the same parent. In that case your Nicop and your siblings nicop will show the name of parent.

Good luck

Many thanks farazafzal for your reply. Great, so no translation required of urdu based marriage certificate after getting marriage certificate from NADRA/union council and there is no need to upload that urdu marriage certificate. Am I getting right?

my spouse have been lived overseas, so spouse have overseas English card but card is before our marriage. after marriage we got cnic and now smart card. Do you think spouse overseas card works in our case?
secondly, Nadra smart card cnic is funny thing, front side of card have information in both Urdu and English and back side is only in urdu. If I get back side translation of my smart card, would it works. and in which section I need to upload CNIC.

Many thanks.

-- If you have English language Marriage certificate from NADRA you don't need to upload urdu language one.
-- CNIC card question is irrelevant, as you don't have to upload it at all. Read my last post again.

Hey,

So instead of getting english marriage certificate from Nadra, I got mine translated to English from a notary. Would that work Or I would have to get it from Nadra ?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have Smart NICOP , whereas my (to-be) spouse has the Overseas Nadra ID Card.
For getting the MRC from Union council, a part from the NIKAH NAAMA .. Do we have to apply for the smart NICOP of the bride before applying for MRC ? Because , the new smart NICOP would have the Husband's name mentioned. OR , the bride's previous NICOP ( before marriage one) can be used to get the MRC ?

Hi Guys,

I know its an old thread but hoping I can find some help here, I received the following messaged today from London Office,
" Submissions: - copy of Urdu Nikah Nama. This must be received at this office by: 2022/02/04"

Our Nikah Nama (Marriage certificate) was originally in English and it is registered with the Government of Pakistan (Certified NADRA copy sent with the package), we wanted to be proactive about it and instead of getting it in Urdu we got it in English. But now they want it in Urdu, what are our options now? Also does't make sense why the would need this now, is it at Immigration officers discretion to ask for anything they like that dont make sense to them.
