Verification Through Unmarried Certificate
To verify your marital status, you can also apply for an unmarried certificate.
If you are single and have never married in Pakistan, then you can apply for an unmarried certificate in Pakistan. This single certificate in Pakistan is proof of you being single.
This certificate is issued by the government only after complete verification, which is done digitally and manually.
The digital verification is done through the ID card number from NADRA, and the manual verification is done by sending a person to the home address of the applicant and verifying the information from the family members and neighbors.
By Visit to NADRA Office
If you want to confirm your marital status, then you can personally visit the NADRA office with your ID card.
NADRA keeps all the personal records of a person. You can do NADRA marital status verification in Pakistan from the NADRA office itself.
NADRA only verifies the record of the applicant. Therefore, you can only verify your own personal record and not the record of someone else.
PakID App
The government has launched the PakID App on which you can get yourself registered and check your own personal records.
You can also verify your own personal marital status and see the complete details of your family members.
SMS ID Card Number at 8009
The government has also provided an SMS service. Currently, it is not working, but you can try later on.
You can text your ID card number to the helpline 8009.
When you SMS your ID card number to 8009, you get the complete details of the family members who are added to your family tree.
When You Are Shown as Married
During marital status verification, you are shown as married only when, after marriage registration in Pakistan, you are issued a computerized marriage certificate.
After obtaining the marriage certificate, the wife applies for an ID card in the husband’s name. Only then does the record appear in NADRA.
Is Marital Status Changed After Computerized Marriage Certificate?
No, the marital status does not get changed after the issuance of a computerized marriage certificate because, after obtaining the marriage certificate, the wife must change her ID card from the father’s name to the husband’s name to add herself to the family tree of the husband.
Before changing the ID card, if you want to check the marriage record, you can check it through the IT Board of Pakistan through a lawyer.
Marital Status After Manual Nikah Registration Pakistan
After manual Nikah registration in Pakistan, the marital status does not digitally get changed because the manual Nikah Nama is entered manually in the registers.
Although after manual Nikah registration you are legally considered husband and wife, digitally the record does not get changed.
To change the record digitally, you have to obtain the computerized marriage certificate, and then the wife has to apply for a new ID card in the husband’s name instead of the father’s name.
What Is Required for Marital Status Verification?
The ID card number of the applicant is required for marital status verification in Pakistan.
Can You Check Marital Status of Someone Else?
No, legally you cannot check the marital status of someone else because there are privacy laws in Pakistan.
The privacy laws state that the personal information of a person should not be disclosed to others.
However, if it is required for a legal purpose, you can hire the services of a lawyer in Pakistan to obtain the marital records legally.
