Birth Certificate Pakistan for Passport Renewal
If you need a birth certificate from Pakistan for passport renewal, passport documentation, or verification purposes, we can assist with the document-processing process in Pakistan.
A Pakistani birth certificate is an important civil-registration document containing details such as the person’s name, date of birth, place of birth and parents’ information. Depending on the circumstances of a passport application or renewal, additional documentary evidence may be requested to establish or verify personal information.
We assist Pakistani citizens and overseas Pakistanis who need to obtain or process a birth certificate from Pakistan when they are unable to complete the process themselves.
Do You Need a Birth Certificate for Pakistani Passport Renewal?
Not every adult passport-renewal application requires a birth certificate.
For an ordinary Pakistani passport renewal, the Directorate General of Immigration & Passports generally requires documents such as a valid CNIC/NICOP and the previous passport. However, documentary evidence such as a birth certificate may become relevant when there is an issue concerning age, date of birth, identity information or other particulars.
For children and certain passport applications, birth registration documentation can be particularly important.
If you have been specifically asked to provide a Pakistani birth certificate for your passport application, we can help you understand the document-processing requirements and arrange assistance from Pakistan.
Birth Certificate for Pakistani Passport Applications
A birth certificate may be required or requested in situations such as:
- Passport application or renewal involving a child
- Verification of date of birth
- Discrepancy between identity documents
- Supporting documentation for passport modification
- Requests from a Pakistani passport office or foreign Pakistan Mission
- Documentation required for an overseas Pakistani
- Supporting evidence for immigration or nationality-related procedures
- Cases where additional proof of personal information is requested
The exact documentation depends on the applicant’s circumstances.
NADRA Birth Certificate and Pakistan Civil Birth Registration
Birth registration in Pakistan is connected with the country’s civil-registration system. Depending on the province and circumstances, birth records may be maintained through the relevant Union Council, Municipal Committee, Cantonment Board or other authorized local registration authority.
NADRA also provides digital identity and civil-registration related services, including provincial civil-registration services.
It is therefore important to identify the correct authority and type of birth record before starting the process.
What Information Is Usually Shown on a Pakistani Birth Certificate?
A birth certificate may contain information such as:
- Full name of the child
- Date of birth
- Place of birth
- Father’s name
- Mother’s name
- Registration information
- Birth registration number or certificate number
- Issuing authority
The exact format and information can vary according to the issuing authority and registration record.
Birth Certificate from Pakistan for Overseas Pakistanis
If you are living in the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain, UAE, Saudi Arabia or another country, obtaining an old Pakistani birth record can be difficult when you are no longer living in Pakistan.
You may need the document for:
- Pakistani passport renewal
- Passport application
- Immigration documentation
- Permanent residence applications
- Family sponsorship
- Visa applications
- Citizenship or nationality documentation
- Date-of-birth verification
- Embassy or consulate requirements
We provide document-processing assistance in Pakistan for applicants who need help obtaining or processing Pakistani civil documents.
What If You Do Not Have a Birth Certificate?
Many adults in Pakistan were born before computerized civil-registration systems became widely used, and some may not have a readily available computerized birth certificate.
If you do not have a birth certificate, the first step is to determine whether a birth record exists with the relevant local registration authority.
Depending on the case, additional documentation may be required to establish the birth record.
Possible supporting documents can include:
- CNIC or NICOP
- Parents’ CNICs
- Old birth record
- Hospital or maternity record
- School or matriculation documents
- Family Registration Certificate (FRC)
- Previous identity documents
- Existing civil-registration documents
- Other supporting evidence requested by the relevant authority
Do not submit inaccurate information or documents. The correct procedure depends on the applicant’s actual records and circumstances.
Birth Certificate for Passport Renewal from Abroad
If you are a Pakistani citizen living overseas and need a Pakistani birth certificate for passport-related documentation, you may not need to travel to Pakistan simply to begin the document-processing process.
We can assist with the Pakistan-side processing where the relevant authority and case circumstances permit.
This can be particularly useful for overseas Pakistanis who:
- Were born in Karachi or another city in Pakistan
- Currently live outside Pakistan
- Cannot easily visit the Union Council
- Need an old birth record
- Need a computerized birth certificate
- Need assistance communicating with the relevant local authority
- Require the document for passport, immigration or other official purposes
Birth Certificate for Child Passport
For children, birth documentation can be particularly important when applying for a Pakistani passport.
DGIP’s current online passport documentation guidance includes birth registration documentation among the supporting documents for certain newborn passport applications.
If you are applying for a child’s Pakistani passport and have been asked for a birth certificate, we can assist with obtaining the relevant Pakistani birth document.
Documents You May Need
The documents required depend on the individual case and the availability of the existing birth record.
Generally, applicants may be asked to provide copies of available documents such as:
- CNIC/NICOP
- Previous Pakistani passport
- Father’s CNIC
- Mother’s CNIC
- Existing birth certificate or old birth record, if available
- Family Registration Certificate (FRC), where relevant
- School or other supporting records, if applicable
- Authorization from the applicant where required
For overseas applicants, additional identification or authorization documents may be required.
We will advise you about the documents applicable to your particular case before processing.

Birth Certificate Pakistan for Passport Renewal — Karachi
If your birth was registered in Karachi, the relevant local registration authority and available record will determine how the birth certificate can be obtained.
We assist applicants who need help processing Pakistani birth documentation from Karachi, including overseas Pakistanis who cannot personally visit Pakistan.
If you were born in another city or province, tell us the city of birth and approximate date of birth so that we can advise you regarding the appropriate process.
Important: Birth Certificate vs. Passport Requirement
A birth certificate should not automatically be considered a mandatory document for every Pakistani passport renewal.
For adults, DGI&P’s current general passport requirements primarily list a valid CNIC/NICOP and previous passport for ordinary renewal. Birth documentation may be requested in particular circumstances, including situations involving age or date-of-birth evidence.
If a passport office, Pakistan Mission abroad, immigration authority or another official body has specifically asked you for a birth certificate, we recommend following the exact requirement communicated to you.
