ISLAMABAD – The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has implemented various key amendments to the he National Identity Card (NIC) Rules, 2002, introducing new rules for issuance of the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), also known as B-Form with immediate effect.
The changes have been introduced in line with the directives of Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, the department said in a press release.
New B-Form Rules 2025
A key feature of the new regulations is the mandatory requirement of birth registration with the Union Council before the issuance of the Child Registration Certificate (CRC/Form B).
According to the revised rules, children under three years of age are exempt from providing biometric data and photographs.
For children aged three to ten, a photograph and, where available, an iris scan are now required. For those aged ten to eighteen, biometric data, including fingerprints, photographs and iris scans, are mandatory. Each child will also be issued an individual CRC with a specified validity period.
These reforms improve the accuracy of child identity records and play a vital role in preventing illegal registrations and child trafficking.
B-Form Fee Update
The normal fee for B-Form stands at Rs50 with processing time of seven days while the executive fee stands at Rs500 with one day processing time.
