In a bid to streamline the process for obtaining Form B and identity cards for children below the age of 18, the National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) has unveiled a comprehensive set of guidelines.
The move aims to facilitate parents or guardians in acquiring essential documents for their children.
Application process
- Visit a NADRA center with the computerized birth certificate of the child, accompanied by either one parent or a court-appointed guardian.
- If both parents are present, one will be the applicant, and the other will act as a verifier.
- If only one parent is available, the application form must be verified by a Gazetted Officer or public representative (MNAs, MPAs, or officials from municipal bodies).
- The presence of the child is mandatory for the identity card.
- Capture the child’s photograph, and fingerprints for children aged 10 and above.
Flexible documentation
It is important to note that if the computerised birth certificate facility isn’t available at the Union Council, a school certificate or a manual certificate from the Union Council would be acceptable.
