Every child in Pakistan deserves official recognition. That’s why the government offers the Child Registration Certificate, or B-Form. It’s more than just a piece of paper – it’s a key to unlocking your child’s future!
What is a B-Form?
Think of a B-Form as your child’s official birth certificate. It proves they were born in Pakistan and are a citizen. It’s issued by NADRA, the national ID agency.
Why is it Important?
Your child will need a B-Form for many things, like:
- Enrolling in school
- Getting a passport or travel documents
- Seeing a doctor or using social services
- Applying for government benefits
- Proving their age
How to Get a B-Form:
- Visit a NADRA Office: Find your nearest NADRA Registration Center (NRC).
- Get a Token: Take a number and wait for your turn.
- Bring the Documents: You’ll need your own ID (CNIC) and your child’s other parent’s ID. Proof of your child’s birth (usually a marriage certificate) is also required. There might be other documents needed depending on your situation.
- Photos and Fingerprints: Your child will have their picture taken and fingerprints scanned.
- Review and Submit: Double-check the application form, sign it, and pay the fee.
- Get Your B-Form: You’ll receive a printed copy right away. Submit it back to the NRC for processing.
How Much Does it Cost?
- Standard fee: Rs 50 (very affordable!)
- Faster processing (Executive service): Rs 500
How Long Does it Take?
The B-Form application is usually straightforward and takes about 5 working days.
A B-Form is a basic right for every child in Pakistan. Don’t wait – get yours today and open doors to a brighter future for your child!
