Have the original next to you. For each column, pick how it looks on the paper, then type the entry in English. Use the spellings in the passport for names. Columns are in the order printed on the Pakistani form; the Urdu line under each heading helps you find it.

How it works
Copy each column
Go through the 25 columns of the Urdu form. Names, dates and amounts are typed once; the tool writes "son of", "resident of", "Rs. 5,00,000/- (Rupees five hundred thousand only)" and grams for tola.
Mark what the paper shows
Blank, "Nil", struck out or partly illegible columns get the standard translator's notes, such as [Struck out in the original], so nothing looks missing.
Print, or hand it to your translator
Print or save a PDF, or open the Word file and adjust it. Whoever checked it against the original signs the translator's statement.
Where an English draft helps, and where it is not enough
US: USCIS and the NVC
USCIS asks for a full English translation that the translator certifies as complete and accurate, with a statement that they are competent to translate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). The rule does not require a professional or a notary. The statement on the draft follows that wording. US guide
UK: spouse and family visas
The Home Office wants a translation with the translator's confirmation of accuracy, the date, their full name, signature and contact details, and immigration advisers say you cannot translate your own documents. Use the draft to check a translator's work, or give them clean typed text so the job is quicker. UK guide
Canada, the Gulf and everyone else
IRCC wants a certified translator or a translator's affidavit, and Gulf embassies usually want an attested translation. The draft is your working copy and your check, not the final paper. All guides
NADRA's marriage certificate is a different paper
NADRA's computerised Marriage Registration Certificate is already in English, but some offices still ask for the Nikah Nama itself. What each one is
NikahDraft is a drafting tool, not a translator. It does not certify anything and is not connected to NADRA, any union council or any embassy. You are responsible for checking every name, date and amount against the original, and for using a translator where your office requires one.

Questions
Something else? nikahdraft@appin60.com
Does it read my Nikah Nama for me?
No. You, or a relative who reads Urdu, type what each column says. NikahDraft does the layout, the printed column text in English, the amounts in words and the translator's notes. That keeps your papers on your own device.
Is this a certified translation?
No. A translation is "certified" when the person who translated it signs a statement. The draft carries that statement for the person who checked it to sign. Whether your office accepts that person is your office's rule; see the guides.
What do I get for $9?
The same document without the "DRAFT PREVIEW" watermark when you print or save a PDF, and an editable Word (.docx) file. It unlocks this browser at once after payment. The preview stays free.
Can I pay from Pakistan?
Whop takes international cards, including many SadaPay and NayaPay virtual cards. If your card fails, the free preview still shows the whole translation.
Is my information stored?
Your entries stay in this browser's local storage until you press Clear. The site counts anonymous events such as "draft started" or "printed" to see what is used; it never receives what you type.
My form has a column number that does not match.
Some provinces print slightly different wording, and newer forms add CNIC lines. Use the closest column and the notes field, and write to us with the column so we can add it.
