Detailed Guide & Verified Procedures
The Child Registration Certificate (CRC), universally referred to as B-Form, is the fundamental legal identity record for every child in Pakistan under 18 years of age. Without a valid B-Form, parents cannot admit children to schools, issue minor passports, register health insurance, or process inheritance rights.
NADRA issues the B-Form directly from its central database, mapping the child directly to the parents' registered family tree.
Step 1: Essential Prerequisite — Union Council Birth Certificate
Before visiting any NADRA office, parents must complete birth registration at their local Union Council (UC), Municipal Committee, or Cantonment Board: 1. Register the child's birth within 60 days of delivery. 2. Provide hospital birth slip or midwife report. 3. Obtain the official green Computerized Birth Certificate containing a unique UC tracking barcode and child's name in both Urdu and English.
Documents Required at NADRA Center
When visiting NADRA for B-Form issuance, bring: - Original Computerized Birth Certificate from Union Council. - Original CNIC / Smart CNIC of Father. - Original CNIC / Smart CNIC of Mother. - Existing B-Form copy (if adding a younger sibling).
Important Marriage Record Rule: NADRA will NOT issue a B-Form if the mother's CNIC is still registered under her father's name (unmarried status in NADRA records). Ensure marital status is updated beforehand by bringing your official Nikkah Nama to the NADRA counter.
