As soon as COVID vaccinations became widely available across Pakistan, the Government of Pakistan arranged for a NADRA vaccination certificate to be issued to the recipients. It specified the type of vaccination administered and the date on which the last dose was received. The NADRA COVID vaccine registration process was also streamlined so that it could be done with ease.
Since the beginning of 2021, the Government of Pakistan has made vaccinations available to Pakistani citizens free of cost.
Immunisation certificates are being made by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) as part of the government’s effort to facilitate the acquisition of evidence of vaccination against COVID-19 by those who have received all necessary doses.
In this step-by-step guide below, we will walk you through the process of obtaining a NADRA vaccination certificate.
The certificate serves as the formal documentation that you have received COVID-19 vaccination.
Since 2021, the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has launched several campaigns in Pakistan to vaccinate the population with the help of the National Immunisation Management System (NIMS).
People in every region of Pakistan have easy access to vaccination services provided via a network of predetermined vaccination centres located all over the country.
If you have not received your COVID-19 vaccination yet, learn about the COVID-19 vaccination guidelines and procedure and get your shot today.
Some of the significant benefits of a vaccination certificate are listed as follows:
After providing vaccines to frontline healthcare workers in February 2021, the government of Pakistan extended its support to elderly citizens in March 2021.
This was followed by free vaccines being offered to the entire adult population of Pakistan in different areas from April 2021 onwards.
Currently, anyone aged 5 years or older can get vaccinated against COVID-19 by visiting any COVID-19 Vaccination Centre with their CNIC, Child Registration Certificate (CRC)/B-Form or passport.
The process of acquiring the certificate is hassle-free, and it can be done from any location with internet access. When a person has been immunised against COVID-19, they are eligible to receive a certificate from NADRA at the cost of Rs.100 only.
A vaccination certificate can be obtained in two different ways:

NADRA has launched the PAK COVID-19 Vaccination Pass app, which can be found on both Google Play and App Store.
On this application, Pakistani citizens can store a copy of their COVID-19 NADRA immunisation certificate on their mobile devices after downloading it from the COVID-19 NADRA website.
