The Pakistani government has introduced the Child Registration Certificate, commonly known as the B-Form, as a fundamental right for individuals under the age of 18. This official document is essential for registering a child in government records and serves as a prerequisite for school admission and various other purposes.

The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) is responsible for facilitating the acquisition process of the B-Form for all Pakistani children. In recent years, the government has implemented measures to streamline the issuance of these documents for the convenience of the general public.

The B-Form is issued from the place of origin, and individuals can obtain it by providing proof of childbirth from the respective union council.

NADRA B-Form Fee

As of December 2023, the regular fee for applying for a B-Form is Rs50. Additionally, NADRA offers executive services for those seeking expedited processing at a fee of Rs500.
