Detailed Guide & Verified Procedures

GAZETTE VERIFIED

The Family Registration Certificate (FRC) is one of the most critical legal documents issued by NADRA. It provides official government validation of an applicant's family structure as recorded in the National Data Warehouse.

Whether you are applying for a Schengen visa, US immigrant petition, UK visit visa, court inheritance proceeding, or foreign university sponsorship, foreign embassies strictly require an FRC to verify legal family ties.

3 Types of NADRA FRC Certificates

NADRA issues three distinct types of FRC based on your civil relationship status:

  1. FRC By Birth: Lists the applicant alongside their parents and brothers/sisters. (Ideal for unmarried individuals or students traveling abroad).
  2. FRC By Marriage: Lists the applicant alongside their legal spouse and children. (Required for married couples and family visa applications).
  3. FRC By Adoption: Lists an adopted child alongside their legally designated guardians certified by court orders.
