Every person born is required to be enrolled in the government records. When a child is born, his family is required to obtain his birth certificate in Pakistan within the period of 3 years. In case the certificate is not obtained within this period, then the family has to obtain the decree of declaration from the civil court. Even if the child of a Pakistani national is born abroad, they are required to obtain the certificate from Pakistan. Our law firm can help you with the court decree and get you the birth certificate from the Union Council in Pakistan.
We mention the requirements for the birth certificate in Pakistan.
There is no such thing as a birth certificate, Nadra. The Nadra does not issue
the certificate; however, nadra gives software used by the union council to them. The software issues
the certificate and syncs the record with the nadra database. This is why people sometimes called it the
Nadra birth certificate.
Adults can obtain their birth certificate only when they

The government has placed birth certificate registration in Pakistan under different tiers according to the timeline within which it is registered. The registration depends on how old a person is and when the certificate is registered. Below are the different legal tiers for normal and late birth registration in Pakistan.
Normal birth registration in Pakistan is the registration of the certificate within a period of 2 months. When a child is born and the parents obtain the birth certificate for that child, it is called normal birth registration in Pakistan. This certificate can be obtained from the Union Council or from the Khidmat Markaz.
When, after the child’s birth, the birth certificate is applied for within the timeline of 2 months to 1 year, it is called late birth registration in Pakistan. This certificate can also be issued by the relevant Union Council, but for late birth registration in Pakistan, a declaration on affidavit from the parents will be required.
When, after the child’s birth, the birth certificate is applied for within a period of 1 year to 7 years, it is called delayed birth registration in Pakistan. It can be applied for at the Union Council. A declaration on affidavit by the parents will be required. An inquiry by the local administration will also be conducted, and approval for this birth certificate will also be required from the Assistant Commissioner and the Tehsil Municipal Officer (TMO).
If the birth certificate of a child is applied for after the age of 7 years or when he or she is above 18 years of age, the applicant has to file a case before the Civil Court to obtain a court decree. Along with the court decree, formal verification from the Assistant Commissioner will also be required.
