The National Database Registration Authority (Nadra) issues B-forms, or Child Registration Certificates, to all Pakistani minors. A child can be registered with a NADRA record using a Child Registration Certificate. Obtaining a registration certificate from the place of origin is a child’s fundamental entitlement.
Because of its ability to automate, NADRA has made obtaining Child Registration Certificates easier. CRC can be obtained by presenting official birth certificate documentation from the union council.
