Telangana launches Family Register, certificate available through MeeSeva

The Telangana government has introduced a State-wide electronic Telangana Family Register and a Family Register Certificate (FRC) to provide citizens holding Food Security Card (FSC) with an authenticated record of family composition and simplify access to government services.

According to G.O.Ms. No. 172 issued by the Revenue Department on July 25, the Family Register will be maintained electronically using data sourced from the Food Security Card (Ration Card) database maintained by the Civil Supplies department. The register will contain details such as the family’s ration card number, which will serve as the Family Register Identification Number, names of family members, their relationship to the head of the family, age, date of birth, gender, Aadhaar particulars and residential address.
