NADRA FRC fee update 2025: Certificate Fees & Application Process

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has clarified its process for obtaining Family Registration Certificates (FRC), a crucial document for family verification in legal and immigration matters.

What is an FRC?

The FRC is an official (but non-legal) NADRA document that:

• Details family composition based on NADRA records
• Is commonly required for embassy submissions, visas, and immigration
• Helps verify relationships in official processes

FRC Types & Categories

NADRA issues three FRC variants:

Alpha (By Birth)

• Shows parents and siblings
• For children/individuals proving birth relations

Beta (By Marriage)

• Lists spouse and children
• Used for marital/family sponsorship cases

Gamma (By Adoption)

• Displays guardian and adopted family members
• Required for adoption-related documentation

Key Requirements

• All family members must be NADRA-registered
• Valid 13-digit CNIC (for adults) or B-Form (for children) needed

Where to Apply?

NADRA offers two application methods:

NADRA Registration Centers (NRCs)

• • Instant issuance (real-time processing)

Pak Identity Mobile App

• • PDF copy emailed within 24 hours

FRC Fees for 2025

• Standard fee: Rs. 1,000 per certificate (Alpha, Beta, or Gamma)

• Combined FRC (Birth + Marriage): Rs. 2,000

Why is the FRC Important?

• Embassy submissions: Many countries require FRCs for family visas
