FRC Attestation & Translation for Visa (Pakistan)

Get your NADRA Family Registration Certificate (FRC) attested and, where needed, certified-translated for visa and family sponsorship — with the MOFA process, fee, timeline and door-to-door service from Hijrat.

A Family Registration Certificate (FRC) from NADRA is one of the most requested documents for family and spouse visas. But your FRC is not valid abroad until it is attested by MOFA — and some embassies also ask for a certified translation or copy. This guide explains when you need an FRC, the attestation and translation process, fees and timeline, and how Hijrat handles everything door-to-door from Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

What is an FRC and when do you need it for a visa?

The FRC is an official NADRA document that lists your registered family — parents, spouse and children. Embassies request it to confirm relationships for spouse and child sponsorship, family reunion visas, and employment visas where your family will join you abroad.

FRC attestation process for foreign use

  1. Obtain the latest FRC from NADRA.
  2. Check that names and family details match your CNIC and passport.
  3. Submit for MOFA attestation — MOFA verifies the NADRA record and applies its official stamp.
  4. Where required, get a certified translation and embassy attestation.

Do you need an FRC translation?

The NADRA FRC is issued in English, so a translation is often not required. However, some embassies and foreign authorities request a certified copy or certified translation in a specific format. We provide embassy, MOFA and HEC accepted certified translation when it is needed — see our full certified translation service.

Frequently asked questions

Is a NADRA FRC accepted abroad without attestation?
No. For embassy, visa and foreign use your FRC must be attested by MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to confirm the NADRA record is genuine. We handle this for you.
How much does FRC attestation cost in Pakistan?
The MOFA government fee is around PKR 3,000 per document and can often be completed the same day if your details are correct. We confirm the full cost, including courier, before you pay.
Do I need to translate my FRC for a visa?
The NADRA FRC is issued in English, but some embassies ask for a certified copy or certified translation. We provide certified translation accepted by embassies, MOFA and HEC where it is required.
When do I need an FRC for a visa?
Most often for sponsoring a spouse or children, family reunion visas, or employment-based visas where your family will join you abroad later.
