How to get a CNIC or B-Form

Almost every scholarship asks for your identity document: a B-Form (Child Registration Certificate) if you are under 18, or a CNIC once you are 18.

B-Form (under 18)

1. A parent takes your birth certificate (from the Union Council) and both parents' CNICs to a NADRA Registration Centre.
2. The parent applies for your Child Registration Certificate.
3. Collect it on the date given.

CNIC (18 and over)

1. Go to a NADRA Registration Centre with your B-Form and a parent's CNIC (or a blood relative's CNIC for verification).
2. Your photo and fingerprints are taken there.
3. You can also apply through the Pak-ID app if you already have a B-Form record.

Tips

• Choose normal, urgent or executive processing. Urgent is faster and costs more; check fees at NADRA.
• Check your name spelling carefully. It must match your school certificates and later your passport.

Typical time: about 1 to 3 weeks depending on the processing type.
