The National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) issues the Family Registration Certificate (FRC), which contains details of all members in a family.
This important document is required by Pakistani citizens to ensure that their details are recorded with NADRA for future official documentation.
To obtain a Family Registration Certificate (FRC) from NADRA, the applicant can apply in person at a NADRA Registration Center (NRC) or online through the Pak-Identity website.
