marriage certificate/nikkah nama

[bubblegum]

hello everyone.
Does anyone know if we have to send out the original marriage certificate or the nikkah nama along with the other documents? If so do we need to attest it from somewhere?
Thanks in Advance

The country requirement did not specify original copy.......if i were you, i will provide a copy of the “Nikkah Nama” that bear the Nikkah registry seal.
If the document is not in English or French, ensure its translated.

Pakistan – Instruction(s) for documents

• For marriages which took place in Pakistan: The marriage certificate to be submitted is the “Nikkah Nama”. It must bear the Nikkah registry seal as evidence that the marriage has been properly registered by the union council or the relevant government authority in the relevant region. The NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) issued marriage certificate should be included but is not sufficient evidence on its own.
