ISLAMABAD: Family Registration Certificate (FRC) issued by National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) is an essential document which contains details of complete family members.
The certificate is an important and necessary document for the citizens of Pakistan to ensure that they keep all their details with NADRA to get further documents from the authority.
Citizens can obtain an FRC from the authority in three different categories, including birth, marriage, or adoption.
In the category of birth, the National Database Registration Authority’s certificate will record the details of all family members of a citizen, including parents and siblings.
Another way to get a citizen FRC is through marriage, where the certificate will list the family which includes details of the citizen’s spouse and children.
The third option is Adoption which will show the family details including guardian details of the person being adopted.
It may be mentioned here that those who do not have the 13-digit ID number issued by NADRA, will not be included in the family registration certificate.
Citizens of Pakistan can apply for verification either by visiting the NADRA Registration Center (NRC) or through the Pak-Identity website.
Pakistanis going abroad have to go to the respective mission office abroad to obtain a family registration certificate.
