The National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) continues to be the authoritative body for issuing Family Registration Certificates (FRC) in Pakistan, with the fee remaining steady at Rs1,000 as of April 2024.
Categories for FRC Application
Citizens can apply for FRC in three main categories:
- By Birth: This category provides a comprehensive listing of the applicant’s family, including details about parents and siblings.
- By Marriage: Applicants opting for this category will have their family details, such as spouse and children, included in the certificate.
- By Adoption: For individuals under guardianship, this category captures information about the guardian and the family.
Important Note
To be included in the FRC, individuals must be registered with NADRA and possess a 13-digit ID number. Otherwise, their data will not be reflected in the certificate.
Application Process
Applicants have the option to apply for FRC either by visiting a NADRA Registration Center (NRC) or through the Pak-Identity website. For overseas Pakistanis, relevant mission offices abroad facilitate the issuance of the Family Registration Certificate (FRC).
Fee Update
Despite the passage of time, the fee for obtaining an FRC in both normal and executive categories remains unchanged at Rs1,000, ensuring accessibility and affordability for applicants.
This fee update underscores NADRA’s commitment to providing essential documentation services while maintaining consistency in fees for the public’s convenience.
