LAHORE – The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) issues Child Registration Certificate, commonly known as B-Form, for all minors or newly born children of Pakistani citizens.
CRC means registration of a new born with NADRA record. It is the fundamental right of a child to get a registration certificate from the place of origin. NADRA has been able to automate and in turn facilitate the process of acquiring Child Registration Certificates.
CRC can be taken by providing documented proof of child birth from union council. Parent is required to be a holder of National Identity Card (NIC)/National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP).
As per the rules, parents are required to register their new born children within 3 months of their birth.

B-Form Application process
First, you need to visit the nearest NADRA office with the computerised birth certificate of the child, accompanied by either one parent or a court-appointed guardian.
If both parents are present, one will be the applicant, and the other will act as a verifier.
If only one parent is available, the application form must be verified by a Gazetted Officer or public representative (MNAs, MPAs, or officials from municipal bodies).
The presence of the child is mandatory for the identity card.
Capture the child’s photograph, and fingerprints for children aged 10 and above.
