How to get Birth Certificate

Recommended Requirements:
1. Birth certificate form
2. Father's NIC
3. Mother's NIC
Your NIC would not be considered since birth certificate application is submitted on behalf of your parents.
NOTE: Make sure you were registered within a week of your birth. You need to verify that from your parents.
This registration date (Tareekh-e-Indraaj) is very very important. If this date does not exist in Governments database it would be a problem. And for every problem there is a cost. So be prepared.
1. Go to your area's Nazim office. (If you weren't born in Cantt area)

2. Provide them with any of the above documents.
Cost: Rs. 1200/- (Negotiable to very less extent since 800-900 is valid fee)
Time: Within a day or 2
Else
1. Go to City Town Hall. Mother place of all records and information.

Cost: Rs. 1200/-
