What is a Family Registration Certificate (FRC)?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

A Family Registration Certificate (FRC) is an official document issued by NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) in Pakistan. It shows the family details of a person, like the names of parents, siblings, spouse, and children, all linked to their CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) numbers. Think of it as a family tree on paper, verified by the government.

Why is FRC Important?

The FRC is super useful for many things, like:

• Immigration or Visa Applications: Many countries ask for an FRC to confirm your family details when you apply for a visa.
• Inheritance or Property Matters: It helps prove family relationships for dividing property or claiming inheritance.
• School Admissions: Some schools require it to verify family information.
• Legal Purposes: It’s used in court cases or other legal processes to show family ties.

2. By Marriage: Includes details of your spouse and children.
3. By Adoption: Lists details of adopted children and their legal guardians.

How to Get an FRC?

Getting an FRC is simple:

1. Visit a NADRA office or apply online through NADRA’s official website.

Things to Remember

• Make sure all family members listed have valid CNIC or B-Form numbers.
• Double-check the details you provide to avoid errors.
• If you’re applying for a visa, check if the country requires the FRC to be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
