How to get NADRA Birth Registration Certificate in Pakistan

Birth Certificate is a legal document used to register children under the age of 18 years. It is one of the fundamental rights assured in the constitution of Pakistan to the child to get a birth certificate from his place of birth. It is proof of a child’s date and place of birth along with other data. 

In Pakistan, NADRA has established a special system to issue Birth Certificate through other government departments e.g. Union Council or Cantonment Boards but NADRA is not directly issuing these birth certificates.

After the birth of a baby, it is the responsibility of the parents to register its name with local authorities and to get the birth certificate by paying a nominal fee within 60 days. But if the parents could not get the registration done in time, they may face problems and will have to pay fine later on. So it is the wise act to get registered the newborn baby name as soon as possible after his birth.
