The Family Registration Certificate (FRC) serves as a vital identity document, offering comprehensive details about the members of a family. Issued by the National Database Registration Authority (Nadra), it plays a crucial role in establishing familial connections and identities.
Categories of FRC Applications
FRC applications can be submitted under three distinct categories, each catering to different family dynamics:
- By Birth: This category produces a certificate listing family members, encompassing details about parents and siblings.
- By Marriage: The resulting certificate includes information about one’s spouse and children, providing a comprehensive overview of the familial unit.
- By Adoption: This category yields a certificate detailing the family structure, incorporating information about the guardian in cases of adoption.
Eligibility and NADRA Registration
It’s essential to note that individuals not registered in NADRA, lacking a 13-digit ID number, will not have their data reflected in the FRC. This underscores the significance of prior registration for seamless documentation.
Application Process: Where and How
Prospective applicants have two avenues for submitting FRC applications:
- NADRA Registration Center (NRC): By physically visiting the nearest NADRA Registration Center, individuals can initiate the FRC application process.
- Pak-Identity Website: Alternatively, the application process can be facilitated through the Pak-Identity website, offering a convenient online platform for applicants.
Fee Structure Update (February 2024)
As of February 2024, the fee for FRC applications falls within two categories – normal and executive, both set at Rs1,000. This financial aspect is a crucial consideration for those seeking to obtain the Family Registration Certificate.
