NADRA brings major changes in succession certificate rules, aiming to make the process simpler and faster for citizens. The changes are designed to reduce delays, improve transparency, and make it easier for legal heirs to claim inheritance.
Previously, obtaining a succession certificate involved a lengthy court process. Now, NADRA has introduced a digital procedure that allows applicants to submit requests online or through its designated offices.
The new system includes identity verification, biometric checks, and family tree validation to ensure the rightful heirs are identified. NADRA brings major changes in succession certificate rules by removing the need for physical court appearances in most cases, unless disputes arise among heirs.
According to NADRA officials, the updated process is more secure and efficient. Once an application is submitted, NADRA notifies all legal heirs through SMS. If no objections are raised within 14 days, the succession certificate is issued digitally.
These reforms aim to reduce fraud, prevent forged claims, and save time for families already dealing with the loss of a loved one. The digital certificate can be used to transfer property, bank accounts, and other assets legally and quickly.
Legal experts have welcomed the move. They say that NADRA brings major changes in succession certificate rules that could ease the burden on courts and reduce legal costs for citizens. Many also believe it will encourage more people to register and protect their family assets legally.
However, some concerns remain over digital literacy in rural areas and the ability of older citizens to navigate the new system. NADRA has assured that help desks and customer support will assist applicants in all regions.
This reform is part of NADRA’s broader mission to digitize public services and improve citizen convenience across Pakistan.
