Curious about PAKISTANI Birth Certificate

[Lexushim 105]

I was born in Pakistan, but I only have a hospital issued Birth certificate. Not, the NADRA issued Birth Certificate. Can I still get my NADRA issued Birth Certificate or no? What docs should I take and Where should I go? Can I go get one without my parents now?

Also, do you think, if I don't get my NADRA birth certificate; at my husband's interview they could reject my hospital issued birth certificate and ask for my NADRA birth certificate? ( I am USCitizen though)...

please help?

Do you have a B-Form/CRC?  The hospital certificate + B-Form/CRC would be sufficient based on the US Department of State link, but that is if you don't already have a UC/Municipal Birth Certificate. Do you have a Union Council birth certificate or a Municipal Corporation Birth Certificate?  You can also use a Matriculation certificate as secondary proof.

Birth Certificates

Available

Fees: The fees vary by location.

Document Name: Birth certificate, Child Registration Certificate

Issuing Authority: Birth certificates issued by local Union Councils, Municipal Corporations, the Office of the Cantonment Board, or the CDA are acceptable, as are Family Registration Certificates (FRC) issued by NADRA.  In larger cities, such as Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi etc., Municipal Corporation-issued birth certificates prior to 2001 are also acceptable.

Special Seal(s) / Color / Format: This varies by location.

Issuing Authority Personnel Title: There is no issuing authority personnel title.

Registration Criteria: Births are to be registered with the Union Council within two months.

Procedure for Obtaining: Applicants must visit their local Union Council, fill out a form, and provide identification. The process for late registration is more complex, requiring two affidavits to be submitted to the concerning authority (the municipal corporation or small claims court, depending on the length of time after birth).  The concerning authority then issues a letter to the Union Council authorizing the late entry. Once this process has been completed, the applicants may visit the Union Council to register.

Certified Copies Available: Certified copies are available.

Alternate Documents: In lieu of a birth certificate, Pakistanis often use Child Registration Certificates or Family Registration Certificates (FRC), which list all family members and document each member’s relationship to the other.

Exceptions: None

Comments: Birth records are inconsistent because most people only request one when required for a specific reason. Late-registered births are thus quite common.  In cases when the date of birth is in issue (such as age-limited immigrant visa classes), other contemporaneous documents such as school records are often reviewed. Birth certificates can be in either English or Urdu with English translation.
