We had the Urdu version of Marriage Certificate hence I first need to get the English Version of Marriage Certificate but if you have Marriage Certificate issued by NADRA then it will be enough because it already contains description in English and Urdu as well.

For the Translation of Marriage Certificate into English, I went to to Burns Road, Karachi.
Found the translator sitting with type writer, he filled the data on the Pre-formatted Marriage Certificate. That Pre-formatted was stamped with Notary Public Karachi He took Rs. 600/- for this.

English Version of Birth Certificate(s) for the children

Birth Certificate issue from Union Council in Karachi does already contains information in English, hence it was not required to be translated for my case (but if it does not contain information in English then it is also required to translated).
