ISLAMABAD – The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) issues the Family Registration Certificate (FRC), which outlines the family composition of the applicant, including details of birth or marriage. This document is important for individuals who wish to register their family members and keep their details updated in the national database.
An FRC is issued after the payment of a certain fee, and it includes details of the applicant, spouse, and children. However, to be included in the FRC, each family member must have a 13-digit ID number registered with NADRA. If a family member is not registered, their data will not be included in the FRC.
