Both a CRC (Child Registration Certificate) and a Juvenile Card are important documents for kids under 18 in Pakistan, but they’re not the same thing.
What’s a CRC?
A CRC is like a family record for kids. It lists all the children under 18 in a family, but it doesn’t have photos. It’s like a basic ID for your whole family’s kids.
What’s a Juvenile Card?
A Juvenile Card is like a personal ID for your child. It’s a special card with a chip that has your kid’s information and a photo. It’s like a mini-CNIC just for kids.
Which one is better?
Juvenile Cards are usually better because they have more information and a photo, making it harder for someone to pretend to be your kid. Most places will accept a Juvenile Card, but some might still ask for a CRC.
So, while a CRC is a good start, a Juvenile Card is the way to go for a stronger and more secure ID for your child.
