Streamlined FRC Application Process by NADRA: July 2024 Update
In a recent development by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), obtaining a Family Registration Certificate (FRC) has become more accessible and efficient. Effective July 2024, the service fee for acquiring an FRC has been fixed at PKR 1000/-, payable in cash at NADRA counters across Pakistan.
What is a Family Registration Certificate (FRC)?
The FRC serves as a crucial document that establishes an individual’s familial links as recorded by NADRA. It includes details such as parents, siblings (for applications by birth), spouse, and children (for applications by marriage), or guardian (for applications by adoption). Although primarily used for embassy purposes, the FRC does not fulfill legal requirements.
Application Categories for FRC:
- By Birth: Includes details of parents and siblings.
- By Marriage: Includes details of spouse and children.
- By Adoption: Includes details of the guardian.
Key Points to Note:
- The FRC is issued exclusively to applicants registered with NADRA, possessing a 13-digit ID number.
- Unregistered individuals’ data will not be reflected in the FRC.
- Applicants can expect to receive the FRC form immediately upon payment at NADRA counters.
Importance of the Update:
This update aims to streamline the application process for FRCs, ensuring that individuals can easily obtain this essential document. It is particularly beneficial for those requiring the FRC for embassy-related matters, simplifying the documentation needed for official purposes.
By setting a standardized fee and providing immediate issuance at counters, NADRA aims to enhance convenience and efficiency in obtaining the FRC, meeting the needs of citizens and expediting bureaucratic processes.
For more information and updates, individuals are encouraged to visit their nearest NADRA centers or access the official NADRA website.
This initiative underscores NADRA’s commitment to modernizing administrative services, making vital documents more accessible to the public.
