Civil Marriage Registration & MRC Service in Pakistan

We protects your legal rights

Ending a marriage through court is a sensitive and challenging step, and many women are unsure how to begin the khula procedure legally and safely. At this critical moment, having the right lawyer ensures protection, confidentiality, and quick results.
Uzair Rasheed Sandhu Advocate High Court provides complete legal support for women seeking separation through the lawful khula procedure in Pakistan.

What is Civil Marriage Registration?

Civil Marriage Registration is the official process of recording your marriage with the relevant government authority. Unlike religious ceremonies, civil registration ensures that the marriage is legally recognized for all administrative and legal purposes, including inheritance, spousal rights, visas, and family records.

We are your authorized legal representative. Our firm, led by Uzair Rasheed Sandhu Advocate High Court, specializes in providing an end-to-end Civil Marriage Registration service. Mr. Sandhu’s expertise ensures the entire process—from filing the application to securing the final MRC and legalization—is handled efficiently and legally, guaranteeing the global validity of your marriage document.

Our Civil Marriage Registration service guarantees:

  1. Legal MRC Issuance: Official, computerized Marriage Registration Certificate issued by the correct Union Council.

  2. Foreigner Compliance: Specialized service for marriages involving foreign nationals, ensuring necessary documentation (e.g., passport, visa checks) is compliant.

  3. Hassle-Free Attestation: Procurement of a document ready for immediate legalization by MOFA and foreign Embassies.

The Critical Need for Legal Civil Marriage Registration

The term Civil Marriage Registration refers to securing the state-issued MRC, which serves as the irrefutable proof of your marital status. Without a properly registered MRC, you cannot:

  • Update the bride’s CNIC/Passport with the husband’s name.

  • Apply for a spousal or dependent visa abroad.

  • Procure the Family Registration Certificate (FRC) from NADRA.

Professional guidance helps applicants avoid confusion and ensures compliance with all procedural rules.
