NADRA Death Certificate Karachi:

A NADRA Death Certificate is an official document issued by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) of Pakistan confirming an individual’s death. It is used for legal and administrative purposes, such as inheritance claims, property transfer, insurance, and updating government records. IN Karachi, obtaining a death certificate involves a two-step process: first, acquiring the official death certificate from the local Union Council, and second, updating the deceased’s records with NADRA to obtain a Cancellation Certificate.

Step 1: Obtain the Death Certificate from the Union Council:

The primary authority for issuing death certificates is the local Union Council. To apply, you’ll need the following documents:

  • Hospital Death Certificate: Issued by the hospital where the death occurred.
  • Graveyard Slip: Documentation from the cemetery confirming the burial.
  • Deceased’s CNIC: Original National Identity Card of the deceased.
  • Applicant’s CNIC: National Identity Card of the person applying for the death certificate.

After gathering these documents, visit the relevant Union Council office, complete the required application forms, and submit them along with the necessary documents. The Union Council will process your application and issue the official death certificate.

Step 2: Update NADRA Records and Obtain a Cancellation Certificate:

Once you have the death certificate from the Union Council, it’s essential to update the deceased’s records with NADRA. This process ensures the individual’s CNIC is officially canceled, preventing potential misuse. To apply for the Cancellation Certificate.

1: Visit a NADRA Registration Center (NRC): Locate your nearest NRC in Karachi.

2: Bring Necessary Documents

  • Original death certificate issued by the Union Council.
  • Deceased’s original CNIC.
  • Applicant’s valid CNIC (must be a blood relative)

3: Application Process:

  • Obtain and fill out the cancellation application form.
  • Provide biometric data: photograph, fingerprints, and signature.
  • Submit the form along with the required documents.

After submission, NADRA will process the application and issue a Cancellation Certificate, officially recording the termination of the deceased’s ID card.
