Family Member Certificate
Officially list a family's members — the basis for pensions, claims and succession. A Family Members Certificate names the members of a family, typically after a death, and underpins pension transfer, service benefits, insurance and inheritance. Errors or omissions derail every dependent claim. NOS obtains it with correct, reconciled evidence.
Understand the service
What we can help with
The Family Member Certificate is issued by the Tahsildar / MRO (Revenue) through MeeSeva or the Village / Ward Secretariat, after a short notice period and a field inquiry. A clean, first-time certificate for a nuclear family with clear relationships and documents in hand is straightforward and fixed-price. Others take more work — a surviving-member certificate after a bereavement, a joint or blended family, an adoption or step relationship, corrections, or NRI coordination. Family disagreements, objections, a contested family composition or a court matter are handled by a legal expert; if a certificate can't be issued, we'll say so and point to the right remedy.
Family Member vs Legal Heir Certificate. A Family Member Certificate records a family's composition / surviving members for pension and welfare; a Legal Heir Certificate (and, for movable assets, a Succession Certificate) establishes heirship for inheritance and is used in civil-court matters.

How it works on the ground
The government process is scattered across portals, offices and paperwork. NOS turns it into one guided flow.
The reality on the ground
What you face today in TG & AP
Issued by the Tahsildar / MRO after verification of family details and the death record.
Every member's identity and relationship proof must align exactly.
Often confused with — and needed alongside — a legal-heir certificate.
Verification and collection require local presence families abroad lack.

What we handle
How it works
- 01Step 1
Tell us what you need
A short questionnaire — the purpose, your family details and documents. A first-time certificate for a nuclear family with everything in hand is quick and fixed-price.
- 02Step 2
Case Manager assigned
A dedicated Case Manager is assigned and you can message them before you pay. Surviving-member, joint-family and claim-support cases get a clear plan and price first.
- 03Step 3
We handle the offices
We prepare and verify the affidavit and documents, file with the Tahsildar via MeeSeva / the Village Secretariat, manage the statutory notice and VRO field inquiry, and follow it through — acting through a Power of Attorney for NRIs.
- 04Step 4
Issued & tracked
DeliveredYour certificate is issued and tracked in your dashboard, with international delivery where you need it.
What you'll typically need
- The purpose (pension, bank / insurance claim, property mutation, welfare, etc.)
- The family members to be listed (name, age, relationship) and an affidavit
- Aadhaar / ID and residence proof for the applicant and members
- For a surviving-member certificate: the death certificate of the deceased
Don't have everything to hand? That's alright — especially at a difficult time. Share what you can and your Case Manager will guide you through the rest.
