The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has refuted rumours of any change in the policy of issuance of the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), also known as B-form.
Earlier, there were reports that a medical certificate was required for obtaining the B-form and the authority has set a December 31 deadline to acquire the B-form.
“Neither any sort of changes are under consideration about the issuance of B-form, nor there are any changes,” NADRA said in a clarification post on X (Twitter) on Monday.
نادرا کی جانب سے “فارم ب” کے اجراء کی پالیسی میں کوئی تبدیلی نہیں کی گئی اور نہ ہی کسی قسم کی کوئی تبدیلی زیرغور ہے۔
“فارم ب” کے حصول کے لئے کسی طرح کی کوئی ڈیڈلائن بھی مقرر نہیں کی گئی۔
بعض حلقوں کی جانب سے انٹرنیٹ پر سامنے آنے والے کچھ بیانات حقائق کے منافی ہیں اور شہریوں کو…— NADRA (@NadraPak) December 18, 2023
The authority urged people to refrain from spreading fake news.
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 childbirth from the union council.
