NADRA Calls for Immediate Update of Marital Status
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued a crucial advisory for all married citizens across Pakistan, urging them to promptly update their marital status in the official government database. This proactive step is essential to prevent potential legal complications that could arise in the future from having outdated or incorrect personal information on record.
Addressing the Data Discrepancy
According to sources from NADRA's local chapter, the authority has identified a significant gap in its records. It has been observed that a large number of individuals have formally registered their marriages with their respective Union Councils, yet this vital life event remains unrecorded in the central NADRA database. The authority highlighted this discrepancy through general announcements and its official social media channels, including Facebook.
The update process is a key part of NADRA's continuous initiative to maintain accurate and up-to-date data for every citizen. To facilitate this, the authority is actively directing affected individuals to visit their nearest NADRA registration centers to have their marital status correctly documented without further delay.
New SMS Service and Support Channels Launched
In a move to enhance public outreach, NADRA has also launched a dedicated SMS service to directly inform married citizens about this requirement. For those seeking further information or guidance, NADRA has provided multiple support channels.
Citizens can contact the dedicated helpline at 1777 for mobile users, or 051-111-786-100. Additionally, the official NADRA website at www.nadra.gov.pk is available for comprehensive information and online assistance regarding the update procedure and other services.
