Going through a divorce is tough, but getting the paperwork sorted out can be even tougher. Let’s break down the steps to getting your divorce certificate in Pakistan.
First, you need to finalize your divorce in court. This means going to court, having a judge decide on the divorce, and getting a legal document called a divorce decree.
Once you have that divorce decree, you can apply for a divorce certificate from NADRA. Here’s how:
Applying for Your Divorce Certificate
You can apply online or in person.
- Online:
- Create an account on the NADRA website.
- Look for the “Apply for Divorce Certificate” option.
- Fill out the form, upload your documents (divorce decree, your CNIC, your ex-spouse’s CNIC, and a photo of yourself).
- Pay the fee and submit.
- Your certificate will be mailed to you in about a week.
- In Person:
- Visit a NADRA office.
- Bring the same documents you’d need for the online application.
- Pay the fee and wait for your certificate to arrive in the mail.
How Much Does It Cost?
The exact fee for a divorce certificate can vary, but it’s typically around Rs. 350. It’s best to check with the NADRA office directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
Important things to remember:
- If you’re applying for someone else, you’ll need their permission.
- If you lost your certificate, you can get a replacement for a small fee.
- The whole process can be confusing, so it’s a good idea to talk to a lawyer if you need help.
Getting a divorce is tough, but getting your paperwork in order is one step towards moving forward.
