ISLAMABAD – The National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) has granted the legal status to Family Registration Certificate (FRC) through latest reforms.
As per the rules, applicants must now submit an undertaking confirming the accuracy of the information provided. Citizens can obtain the FRC solely based on NADRA’s records.
The new rules define three family types: Alpha (by birth), Beta (by marriage), and Gamma (by adoption). Individuals must register any unlisted family members. Corrections can be made through the mobile app or NADRA offices, and incorrect entries can be removed.
Unlike the previous system, the updated FRC will now include full details of men with multiple marriages, reducing ambiguity.
FRC Types
Applicants may obtain an FRC under three distinct categories:
By Birth
It is also called Alpha in Nadra’s official language and it includes information about parents and siblings.
By Marriage
It is also called Beta and it displays details of spouse and children.
By Adoption
It is called Gamma and it shows guardian and adopted family members.
Where to Apply
NADRA provides two convenient ways to apply for an FRC:
NADRA Registration Centers (NRC)
Pak Identity Mobile App
FRC Latest Fee
The NADRA fee for all types of FRC stands at Rs1,000. However, it will be double if you want to obtain FRC by birth and by marriage on same document.
