Getting your NADRA FRC online is a common step before applying to welfare programs, visas, or school admissions, because the Family Registration Certificate proves your family details. This guide explains what the FRC is, why it is needed, the documents, the fee, and how to get it.

The FRC comes straight from NADRA’s records and shows who is in your family and how they are related. Many programs — including BISP — ask for it, so it is worth knowing how to get it correctly.

What is a NADRA FRC?

The FRC (Family Registration Certificate) is an official NADRA document that lists the members of a family and their relationships, based on NADRA’s registered data. It is commonly required for welfare programs, visas and immigration, education, and legal or inheritance matters. Because it is issued from your registered family records, keeping those records accurate and updated makes the process smoother. You can find official information at nadra.gov.pk.

Get your NADRA FRC online or at a NADRA center with your CNIC.

Why welfare programs need an FRC

Programs such as BISP use the FRC to confirm your family composition — who belongs to your household — which affects eligibility and payments. Since the FRC is drawn directly from NADRA’s records, it is treated as reliable proof of your family details. If a program asks for one, get it from the official NADRA service and check that your family data is correct first.

Documents you need

Keep these ready:

  • Your CNIC (and family members’ CNIC / B-Form details as needed)
  • Correct family information as registered with NADRA
  • The official fee, paid through the proper channel

If your family records are missing a member or need a correction, you may need to update your NADRA record first.

How to get a NADRA FRC online, step by step

  1. Open NADRA’s online service (such as the Pak-Identity portal) or visit a NADRA center.
  2. Register or log in and verify your identity with your CNIC.
  3. Request the Family Registration Certificate and check your family details.
  4. Pay the official fee and receive your FRC as instructed, keeping any reference number.

The fee

The FRC has an official NADRA fee, paid through the proper channel. The exact amount, and any urgent-service option, can change over time, so we do not quote a fixed figure — confirm the current fee on the official NADRA portal or at the center, and keep your receipt.

Stay safe from fraud

  • Use only the official NADRA portal and centers.
  • Pay only the official fee, and keep your receipt.
  • Never share your OTP or password, and avoid anyone who asks for extra money to “speed up” your FRC.
