Knowing your marital status on NADRA records is extremely important in Pakistan, especially when applying for official documents such as passports, bank accounts, inheritance matters, B-Form creation, CNIC renewal, and government schemes. Many people do not know that their married status can be checked online through different NADRA-verified services.
In this Complete Guide for 2025, we will explain:
- How to check your married or single status online
- Official NADRA methods
- SMS method
- NADRA Family Verification
- How to update the wrong marital status
- Fees, requirements, and FAQs
Let’s get started.
Why Checking NADRA Married Status Is Important?
Your marital status affects multiple legal and government processes in Pakistan. Some key uses include:
- Getting a passport with the correct marital status
- Applying for family certificates
- Issuing a B-Form for your children
- Applying for inheritance certificates
- Verifying spouse information
- Avoiding issues in property transfer
- Ensuring your CNIC reflects accurate details
If NADRA mistakenly keeps you “Single” even after marriage, or “Married” even if you are not, it can create many problems. This is why checking your NADRA marital record is necessary.
Can You Check NADRA Married Status Online?
Yes, in 2025, NADRA will allow online family and marital verification through:
✔ 1. NADRA Pak-Identity Online Portal
✔ 2. SMS Verification (8400 service)
✔ 3. NADRA Family Registration Certificate (FRC)
✔ 4. NADRA Helpline verification
Each method gives different levels of detail. Below is the step-by-step guide.
Method 1: Check Married Status Using NADRA Pak-ID Online Portal
The NADRA Pak-Identity Portal is the official platform for online verification.
Step 1: Visit Pak-Identity Portal
Go to: id.nadra.gov.pk
Step 2: Create Your Account
You can sign up using:
- CNIC
- Mobile number
Step 3: Login to Your Dashboard
Once logged in, click on “Verification Services”.
Step 4: Select “Family Verification Service”
This will show all family members registered under your CNIC.
Step 5: View Marital Status
If you are married, your spouse’s name appears in your family tree.
If you are single, no spouse is linked to your family record.
Fee for Online Verification (2025)
- PKR 100 – PKR 250 (may vary based on service)
This method is the most accurate and directly connected to NADRA’s central database.
Method 2: Check Married Status by SMS (8400 Service)
NADRA’s 8400 Family Verification SMS service also tells if your record is linked to a spouse.
How to Use It:
- Open SMS
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number
- Send to 8400
What Will You Receive?
You will receive a message containing:
- Your registered family members
- Spouse name (if married)
- Children (if applicable)
If no spouse is mentioned, your NADRA status is still “Single”.
Note:
This service may not show detailed marital titles but shows family members linked.
Method 3: NADRA Family Registration Certificate (FRC)
Another verification method is requesting an FRC (Family Registration Certificate).
Types of FRC:
- FRC by Birth
- FRC by Marriage
- FRC by Family
How FRC Confirms Married Status?
If you select FRC by Marriage, NADRA will automatically list:
- Your spouse
- Your children (if any)
If NADRA says “No Spouse Found,” your marital status is not updated in NADRA.
FRC Fee (2025)
- Online: PKR 1000
- NADRA Center: PKR 1000 – PKR 1200
Method 4: Check Married Status by Calling NADRA Helpline
You can also verify through NADRA’s official helpline.
NADRA Helpline Numbers:
- 051-111-786-100 (Pakistan)
- +92-51-111-786-100 (International)
Provide your:
- CNIC number
- Full name
- Mother’s name
The representative will tell you whether a spouse is linked to your NADRA record.

How to Check If Someone Is Married in NADRA?
Many people want to check if another person is already married.
Officially, NADRA does not allow viewing someone else’s marital status for privacy reasons.
However, you can find clues through:
✔ FRC (only if you are family)
✔ SMS verification (only if you share family code)
For non-family verification, privacy laws prevent NADRA from showing personal data.
