The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued an important update regarding the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), commonly known as the ‘B’ form.

In a recent clarification, NADRA assured the public that previously issued ‘B’ forms remain valid and have not been canceled, despite circulating rumors.

No Reapplication Required for Existing ‘B’ Forms

In response to concerns, NADRA confirmed that parents whose children already hold a ‘B’ form do not need to reapply for a new one. The authority clarified that:

• Children between the ages of 10 and 18 who are applying for a ‘B’ form for the first time must visit their nearest NADRA center with their parents.
• Parents looking to apply for a passport for a child with an existing ‘B’ form must also visit NADRA for verification.
• The PakID mobile app is available for users to submit applications online, making the process more convenient.

Dispelling the ‘B’ Form Cancellation Rumors

NADRA has firmly dismissed rumors claiming the cancellation of previously issued ‘B’ forms. It has urged citizens to rely on its official social media channels for accurate information and updates.

Understanding the Family Registration Certificate (FRC)

NADRA also emphasized the importance of the Family Registration Certificate (FRC), which serves as an official record of a person’s family structure and lineage.

For parents applying for a new ‘B’ form, the process is simple:

• Visit the nearest NADRA center with the child and original documents.
• Alternatively, the PakID mobile app can be used for an easy online submission.
