When a couple gets married, they register the nikah nama as the first step in Pakistan. The law legally terms a couple as married when they register their marriage. The state will not consider then legally married without the registration of their marriage. When a couple gets married, then on the first step after the religious marriage ceremony, the couple signs a marriage form on which the complete terms and conditions of the marriage are mentioned. This form is a contract between the wife and the husband. The registration of this contract is called the nikah nama registration in Pakistan. A licensed nikah registrar in Pakistan registers this form. Our law firm deals with the registration of marriages. We can have the union council nikah registration, and we can also get you the Nadra nikah nama quickly.
The nikah form is registered in the union council through a licensed nikah registrar. If you are facing any difficulty in the registration of the nikah nama, you may contact our law firm. A person cannot himself register his marriage in the union council, as the government has issued a license to the nikah registrar, who is responsible for the registration of marriages in the union council. We have a licensed nikah khawan and a licensed marriage registrar who can register the marriages for you. All the work is done under the supervision of an expert family lawyer to make sure that there is no legal loophole during the nikahnama registration in Pakistan.
Once you register the nikah nama form, you may apply for the Nadra Nikah Nama. A couple cannot apply for the NADRA nikahnama themselves, as government authorizes the licensed nikah registrar to apply for it on behalf of the couple. We have licensed and expert nikah khawans and registrars through whom you can apply for the certificate. If you have already manually registered your marriage, then you have to contact the same nikah registered to apply for the computerized marriage certificate.
COMPUTERIZED NIKAH NAMA: People also call a computerized nikah nama a Nadra marriage certificate. This computerized nikah nama in Pakistan is a digital certificate with unique features. It has a tracking number available on the certificate. With this tracking number, you can check the authenticity of the document. If you want to check the authenticity of this computerized nikah nama, then you can take it to the office from where it was issued or to the NADRA office, as they can verify this computerized nikah nama for you.
The nikah nama certificate for visa or sponsorship is also required when you want to move abroad with your spouse. If you are already abroad, then you have to get this computerized nikah nama attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and sometimes the attestation from the embassy or consulate is also required. When you are moving abroad, you have to comply with the requirements of that country. If the country has asked you to get the certificate attested from any embassy, then you have to get it attested. Our law firm also deals with the attestation of the nikah nama certificate for visa or sponsorship.
A duplicate nikah nama can be obtained from the union council from where it is issued. To get a duplicate nikah nama in Pakistan, you should have a copy of that certificate. If you don’t have the copy, then it means that your issue is to find the nikah nama and not that of obtaining a duplicate nikah nama. On the first step, you will have to find the record of the nikah nama and then apply for a duplicate copy. If you want to track the record of your nikah nama, then our law firm can help you with the paid services. We can also help you with the duplicate nikah nama if you need it.
A female has the right to mention her haq mehar at the time of marriage. There is a haq mehar clause in the nikah nama. You cannot leave this clause empty.
