Exploring Your Nadra Family Origins
NADRA Family Tree – How to Check and Verify Your Family Record Online
The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) in Pakistan maintains a comprehensive database of citizens and their family relationships. One of its key features is the Family Tree, officially known as the Family Registration Certificate (FRC). This document provides a complete record of your family members registered under a single household.
What is NADRA Family Tree?
The NADRA Family Tree shows the details of all individuals connected through family relationships — such as parents, spouse, and children — as recorded in NADRA’s system. It serves as official proof of family ties and is often required for visa applications, school admissions, inheritance claims, property transfers, and other legal matters.
How to Check Your Family Tree via SMS
You can easily verify your family tree without visiting a NADRA office. Simply send your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes or spaces) via SMS to 8009 from your registered mobile number.
- NADRA will reply with the names of all family members linked to your CNIC.
- If all details are correct, reply with “2”.
- If there’s an error or an unknown member, reply with “1” to report the issue.
Online Verification and FRC Application
For online access, visit the official Pak Identity Portal. After logging in, select the Family Registration Certificate (FRC) option. Enter your CNIC and family details to view or download your family tree. You can also apply for an FRC online by paying the required fee through NADRA’s e-services.
Why Keeping Your Family Tree Updated Matters
Maintaining an accurate family record is essential. Any incorrect entry — such as an unknown person listed under your family or a missing family member — can create serious issues in legal, property, or immigration matters. Regularly verifying and updating your NADRA Family Tree ensures that your family information stays accurate and secure.
Final Thoughts
The NADRA Family Tree is more than just a database entry; it is a verified digital record of your family identity. By checking your details through SMS or NADRA’s online portal, you can prevent future complications and ensure your family’s information remains up to date in Pakistan’s national registry.
