NADRA Launches Online Nikah Registration Service Across Pakistan
ISLAMABAD | November 2025 —
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has officially launched an online Nikah registration and verification service in Pakistan, enabling citizens to digitally register marriages without visiting government offices.
💻 How the Service Works
According to NADRA, the new digital Nikah system allows couples to:
- Register their Nikah (marriage contract) online through the NADRA e-Portal
- Upload required documents such as CNICs, witnesses’ details, and Nikah Nama
- Receive official digital verification once processed
The online service is designed to simplify marriage documentation while ensuring authenticity and easy record access for both partners.
📄 Required Documents
To register online, users must provide:
- Valid CNICs of bride and groom
- Nikah Nama (scanned copy)
- CNIC copies of witnesses
- Marriage registrar’s credentials
Once submitted, NADRA’s system verifies the information and issues a digitally certified Nikah registration record, accessible via the NADRA portal or mobile app.
⚙️ Purpose and Benefits
Officials said the initiative is part of NADRA’s ongoing efforts to digitalize civil registration services and make them more accessible.
The Online Nikah Service will:
- Reduce paperwork and in-person visits
- Ensure accuracy in national marriage records
- Help prevent fake or duplicate registrations
- Provide verified digital proof of marriage for legal and official use
🏛️ Digital Pakistan Vision
The launch aligns with the government’s “Digital Pakistan” initiative, which aims to move key civil services — including birth, marriage, and death registrations — onto secure online platforms.
NADRA has also announced that future updates will include online divorce registration, birth certificate automation, and integrated family record management.
💬 Public Reaction
The service has received positive feedback on social media, with many praising NADRA for adopting technology to modernize family registration systems.
Experts say the initiative will also assist expatriate Pakistanis who need verified Nikah records for visa, family, or legal purposes abroad.
