Hello everyone. After a long absence, I’m back on the blog. The reason for me not posting since March was because I had nothing new to report until all the documentation from Pakistan was done. So, I have obtained the following documents from Pakistan:
- my birth certificate from the National Database and Registration Authortity (NADRA);
- a Certificate of No Impediment to marriage signed by the local Secretary of the Union Council;
- a declaration from my father attesting to the fact that I am unmarried
- the Family Registration Certificate (FRC) from NADRA.
All these documents are being translated as I write this post and as soon as I have them translated, I will submit them to the local Standesamt. For translation – only in NRW – you can refer to this website: http://www.dolmetscher-uebersetzer.nrw.de/. Please note that your state might have its own website for this as well. I haven’t had the time to properly research this.
Stay tuned for a post explaining these documents in detail.

AoA,
I am almost into same situation, as being a student and planning to marry last quarter this year. I have a question or two about the documents. How you got the birth certificate, is it possible to take from NADRA without me being there? Secondly, is this certificate form good enough?

Hi Bilal. In my case, my parents kept my birth certificate and I did not need to get a new one. About the second certificate, I am sorry but I have no idea about it. Although, it seems to me to be for people who are converting to Christianity and marrying in a Christian faith setup. Whereas, in Germany the faith wedding is besides the point. It’s the civil marriage ceremony which counts more and is the most important one.
