These days, which documents are necessary to prove citizenship in India.
people have many questions about this. During the revision of voter list in
bihar elections, many
people are presenting Aadhaar card as proof of citizenship. Whereas Aadhaar is only a document of identity, not of citizenship. Voter ID, passport, birth certificate or documents related to parents' citizenship are generally considered to prove citizenship in India.
Many
people also have this question in their mind that how is citizenship proved in Pakistan. Which documents are recognized by the
police and administration there. Let us know which documents are considered important to prove citizenship in Pakistan.
Which document is most important?
Generally, only one document is sufficient for proof of citizenship in Pakistan. That document is Computerized National Identity Card i.e. CNIC. In
pakistan, every citizen above 18 years of age must have this document. It is issued by the National Database and Registration Authority of Pakistan. This is considered the biggest proof of citizenship in Pakistan.
If there is checking in
pakistan, then the
police asks for CNIC document from the
people to prove citizenship. Not only this, this document is also needed for many important works in Pakistan. Many refugees from
afghanistan and
bangladesh are living in Pakistan. Who have to face problems due to not having CNIC card.
How can someone take Pakistani citizenship?
Often this question also comes in the mind of many
people that how can Pakistani citizenship be taken. So let us tell you that the person applying for this has to fulfill some necessary conditions. Like he has been living legally in
pakistan for a few years continuously. His
police verification should be clear and there is no
criminal record against him.
Apart from this, citizenship can also be taken on the basis of marriage. However, it has to be proved that the
marriage is real and has been lasting for at least two years. Apart from this, in some cases, the
government of
pakistan can grant citizenship in special cases. But after the
application is accepted, the final decision is taken by the Interior Ministry of Pakistan.
