Pakistani certificate: which one to request
The Pakistani choice: the NADRA's COMPUTERISED certificate (with a QR) as the only one that travels, the migration for the old manuscripts, the colonial and Partition holdings for the roots. The modern subcontinent's menu.
The formats
- The bilingual computerised certificate — the standard with a QR.
- The council's manuscript — it migrates before travelling.
- The pre-1947 holdings — the British and Partition roots.
The typical package
Computerised + apostille + sworn English translation. The CNIC/family number archived; the batch through the same rite.
Frequently asked questions
Names without a fixed surname?+
The subcontinental custom (compound names, the father in the name) — the note in the sworn translation explains the structure to the Brazilian chain.
Does the NICOP serve as a certificate?+
No — it's the diaspora's identity. But it anchors the details and speeds up any request in the system.
