Family tree is a verified document provided by the DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL REGISTRATION & CENSUS which contains detailed information about your family members which are under the same censuses. It contains information about the members such as their date of birth, citizen identity card number (CID), Marital status, name and CID number of their parents and their nationality. In addition, you can also get Household Number, Dzongkhag name, Gewog, village, House number, and Throm Number given in the document. 

Family tree is needed for various application purposes such as loan, marriage, visa process, further studies, inheritance, to process birth certificates etc. and also people apply for a family tree when you need to check your census and information about your household. 

Prior to COVID we usually obtain family trees from Dzong, Gewog and the department of immigration and census in person. Now the DEPARTMENT  has created an online service to conveniently acquire your household information. We have described in detail about how to apply online.

Since we have faced the same problem ourselves not knowing where to get it from and since Dziseldra is all about making access to important information transparent and easy, we have written this short but detailed article as a guide for everyone to obtain their household information/family tree online in Bhutan.

If you can read this, we know you are smart enough, but please don't be pathetic enough to use the service and not be able to pay Nu. 99!!!
