What is an FRC? Why do I need to have MOFA Attestation?

The Family Registration Certificate (FRC) is an official document issued by NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) that outlines your family's registered information, including both parents, spouse, and children. Countries outside of Pakistan utilize this document when verifying claims of familial relationships in order to process visa and/or residency applications.

However, the NADRA document is not enough for use in foreign countries. As such, in order to utilize this document internationally, it needs to be verified with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). Therefore, you cannot use a Family Registration Certificate internationally unless you first have it attested by MOFA Pakistan.

What is a MOFA FRC attestation

MOFA attestation confirms that the documents you issued by NADRA are valid so that they can be submitted to Foreign Authorities and Embassies. The document will be LEGALIZED after the MOFA has applied its stamp on it.

Countries often require MOFA FRC attestation in order to apply for:

• Family / Dependent Visas
• Immigration
• Residency
• School Applications
• Medical / Insurance documentation

Without this attestation your application may be halted.

Who needs FRC attestation?

You will need an attestation if you are sponsoring your spouse and/or children or when you are relocating abroad on an employment-based visa with hopes of your family joining you after you have relocated.

Embassies also require verification of family connections in order to provide visas. If you do not have verification of your documents, this may affect the length of your visa residency.

Step-By-Step Process for MOFA attestation

Below is the method that has been established for 2026.

1. Receive an FRC certificate from NADRA
