The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has clarified that there was no change in the policy of issuance of the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), also known as B-form.

“Neither any sort of changes are under consideration in relation to the issuance of B-form, nor there are any changes,” the authority said in a post on X on Monday.

The CRC is a registration document used to register minors under the age of 18 years. According to NADRA, the CRC can be taken by providing documented proof of child birth from union council.

Earlier, there were reports that a medical certificate was required for obtaining the B-form and the authority has set December 31 deadline for the requirement.

In reaction to such claims, NADRA said that no deadline has been set for getting the certificate.

NADRA clarified that some of the statements on the internet from some quarters were contrary to the facts and were misleading the citizens.

It stressed the need for avoiding spreading such fake news.
