Family Registration Certificate - (FRC)

What is Family Registration Certificate (FRC)?

It's a Federal Govt. issued document by NADRA where each family is given unique number and its members are listed with photographs.

There are TWO types of FRC's : Parental and Marital.

Marital FRC can only be issued if both husband and wife have applied for "Modification" of their respective CNIC/NICOP after Nikkah/Marriage and changed their marital status as "Married" in NADRA's database. Marital FRC document for Husband and Wife is same, therefore it doesn't matter who applies.

You only need to provide Marital FRC for Spousal Sponsorship application, however this document is optional at the time of sending application.

Prerequisites:

• After marriage, Both spouses need to have their NADRA ID cards "MODIFIED" first before applying for FRC. This step is required to initiate change in "marital status" in NADRA's database.
• Both Spouses need to upload Digital Photos as part of FRC application.
• You will not be issued "Family Registration Certificate (FRC) by Marriage" if your status in NADRA’s database is "not married”.
• You can apply for marital FRC immediately after any one of you receive modified CNIC.
• It doesn’t matter who applies for marital FRC, same document will be issued.
• If you CNIC is not printed in English or French, it should also be translated.
• Whitelist email "pakidentity.noreply@nadra.gov.pk" in your Email Account to avoid spam mail.
