pakistani.siIndependent general guidance, not a government service or an application portal. Requirements vary by location and circumstances. Confirm current eligibility, documents, fees, processing times and the correct office on the official government website before applying. Never send identity documents, CNIC numbers, passwords or OTPs to this site.
Steps to get started
- Start with NADRA’s official CRC guidance. Check whether the child needs a fresh registration, modification or reprint rather than assuming all applications use the same route.
- Check the child’s birth-registration information and the required parent or guardian documents. Resolve conflicting spellings or dates through the issuing authorities.
- Confirm the application channel, whether the child and parent or guardian must attend, and any age-related photograph or biometric requirements.
- Review the recorded details before submission and keep the reference private. If the document is needed for a passport, check DGI&P’s separate requirements for children as well.
Before you apply
Do not assume an older CRC satisfies every later purpose. Requirements for children’s identity records can differ by age and service.
