The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) plays a crucial role in documenting Pakistani citizens, including minors. One essential document issued by NADRA for children is the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), commonly known as the B-Form. This certificate is necessary for maintaining a child’s official record in NADRA’s database.
Here’s the latest update on NADRA B-Form fees and the application process for February 2025.
What is the NADRA B-Form (Child Registration Certificate)?
The B-Form is an official document issued by NADRA that serves as proof of a child’s registration in Pakistan. It is required for various legal and governmental processes, such as:
- School admissions
- Applying for a passport
- Government benefits and identification
- Future issuance of a Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC)
Eligibility and Requirements for B-Form
To apply for a Child Registration Certificate (B-Form), parents must meet the following requirements:
- ✅ Proof of Birth: A computerized birth certificate issued by the relevant Union Council.
- ✅ Parent’s Identification: At least one parent must have a valid CNIC or NICOP (for overseas Pakistanis).
- ✅ Application Verification: If both parents are available, one applies while the other verifies. If only one parent is available, a Gazetted Officer, MNA, or MPA must verify the application.
- ✅ Child’s Presence: The child must be physically present for verification, especially if they are 10 years or older (photograph and fingerprints required).
