The Pariwar Register (Parivar Register, परिवार रजिस्टर) is the family register kept by the Gram Panchayat in Uttarakhand. It lists every family in the village and its members. A copy (nakal) of it links you to your father and family. That is why it is asked for in caste, domicile and income certificate applications and in schemes such as Nanda Gaura.
You can get the copy online on the Apuni Sarkar portal at eservices.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying for a copy when your family is not yet in the register. Use "Add new Family" first.
- Details in the register that do not match your Aadhaar or school records. Correct them with "Editing of family" before you apply for a caste or domicile certificate.
- Selecting the wrong block or Gram Panchayat in the form.
- Paying agents. The portal shows the official fee.
