The National Database Registration Authority (Nadra) issues a Child Registration Certificate or B-form for all minors in Pakistan. This certificate is essential for registering a newborn in Nadra's records and is considered a child's basic right. Nadra has automated the process of obtaining these certificates, making it easier for parents to get them.
To apply for a CRC, parents need to provide proof of the child's birth from the union council and must themselves have a National Identity Card (NIC) or National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP). It's mandatory for parents to register their children within three months of their birth according to the rules.

If both parents are there, one will apply, and the other will verify. If only one parent is present, the application must be verified by a Gazetted Officer or public representative. The child must be there for the ID card. They'll take a photo and fingerprints if the child is 10 or older.[embedpost slug="nadra-keeps-family-registration-certificate-frc-fee-steady-at-rs1000"]
