If you’re a parent or guardian in Pakistan, you’ll eventually need to register your child with NADRA by obtaining the Child Registration Certificate (CRC)—commonly known as the B-Form. This document is essential for school enrollment, passport applications, and official identification before your child receives a CNIC at age 18.
While NADRA has made parts of the process available online, you cannot directly download the final B-Form online. Instead, you’ll need to start the application online and collect the certified document physically after verification.
Can You Download the NADRA B-Form Online?
No, you cannot download the final certified B-Form directly online.
NADRA currently does not offer a PDF download or digital copy of the finalized B-Form through its website or Pak Identity Portal. While you can start the process online, biometric verification and physical collection of the document are mandatory.
Eligibility & Requirements:
- CRC can be obtained by providing documented proof of birth issued by the Union Council (for births both inland and abroad).
- At least one parent must hold a National Identity Card (NIC) or a National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP).
Pak ID Mobile App (For Children Up to One Year Old):
Parents can apply for a CRC for children up to one year old through the Pak ID Mobile App (Android & iOS).
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying via Pak ID Mobile App:
- Log in to your Pak ID account or create a new account if you don’t have one.
- Click on “Apply Now” and select “Issuance of Identity Document”.
- Choose “Identity Card”, then select “Child Registration Certificate (CRC)”.
- Select “Yes”, enter the 13-digit identity number, and press “Start Application”.
- Review the prefilled information, select processing priority, and proceed.
- Capture or upload the child’s photograph.
- Provide your digital signature.
- Enter the child’s details.
- Upload the required documents.
- Verify the fingerprints of one parent.
- Review and submit the application.
Do you know the procedure of NADRA id card tracking
Final B-Form Collection
Once your application is verified and approved:
-
You will receive an SMS notification when your B-Form is ready
-
You must visit the NADRA center in person to collect the certified paper copy
-
NADRA does not send CRC via email or courier, nor does it allow downloading a signed B-Form
Processing time: Usually 3–5 working days after biometrics, depending on location and workload.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I download the B-Form directly from NADRA’s website?
No. NADRA does not offer a download or digital copy of the finalized B-Form. You can only view the application status online, not download the signed form.
What if I lose my B-Form?
You can request a duplicate by visiting a NADRA center. You’ll need your original application reference number or child’s NIC number.
Do both parents need to be present for biometric verification?
No, only one parent is required, but both CNICs must be provided. If one parent is unavailable, you may need to submit an affidavit or legal documents.
Can I complete the B-Form process if I’m overseas?
Yes. Overseas Pakistanis can apply through the Pak Identity Portal and complete biometric verification at NADRA desks in embassies or consulates.
How long is the B-Form valid?
The B-Form is valid until your child turns 18 years old, after which they can apply for a CNIC.
Securing a B-Form (Child Registration Certificate) is more than just a legal formality, it’s the first official recognition of your child’s identity in the national records. Whether you’re applying for school, healthcare, or future travel documents, this form lays the foundation for all future services linked to your child’s citizenship.
