What is an FRC?
A Family Registration Certificate (FRC) is a NADRA document listing family members as they are recorded in NADRA’s database — for example parents and siblings, or a spouse and children. It is commonly requested for visa and immigration cases, such as family or spouse visas, and sometimes in legal matters like succession.
Before you apply
- Your family members must already be registered and linked to you in NADRA’s records. If someone is missing or a relationship is wrong, that has to be corrected first, which can add time.
- Check exactly which type of certificate the embassy or authority wants. NADRA issues several family and civil-status certificates, and the requirement letter usually names the one needed.
- Keep your CNIC or NICOP valid. An expired card can delay the application.
How to apply
- Open NADRA’s official website and its Pak Identity online service or the Pak-ID mobile app.
- Choose the family registration certificate and the family members to include.
- Verify your identity as the system asks, and pay the fee shown at checkout.
- Track the application in your account and download or collect the certificate as instructed.
