NADRA has explained how married citizens can update their marital status in official records. Applicants can complete the process through the Pak ID mobile application or by visiting a NADRA Registration Centre.
Before applying, citizens must obtain a computerized marriage certificate from the relevant local authority. This document contains a Civil Registration Management System (CRMS) number required for the update.
The certificate can be issued by the relevant Union Council, Cantonment Board, Municipal Committee, or other authorized registration authority. Applicants should ensure their marriage details are correct before proceeding.
Get a Computerized Marriage Certificate
The first step is to confirm that the marriage has been officially registered with the relevant local authority.
Applicants should contact the authority responsible for their marriage registration. They must obtain a computerized marriage certificate containing the required registration details.
The certificate helps connect the official marriage record with NADRA’s database. Citizens should check the information carefully to avoid problems during verification.
Keep the CRMS Number Ready
The computerized marriage certificate contains information linked to the Civil Registration Management System. Applicants should keep the CRMS number available before starting the update.
The CRMS supports the registration of important life events, including births, marriages, divorces, and deaths. Local government bodies use the system to maintain civil registration records.
According to the provided information, the system operates across more than 11,000 Union Councils. It also supports the issuance of civil registration certificates.
