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
- Ask the relevant local government authority which office has jurisdiction for the birth. Depending on the location, this may involve a union council, municipal authority or another authorised office.
- Check whether the birth is already registered. For an unregistered birth, ask about registration first; delayed registration may follow a different procedure.
- Review the official checklist for the child’s birth evidence and parent or guardian identification. Check spellings and dates across documents before submission.
- Keep the receipt and check the issued certificate. If you later need a B-Form or other NADRA child record, follow the separate NADRA process.
Before you apply
Do not determine jurisdiction from a map pin alone. Confirm the correct office and current requirements with the official local authority.

Frequently asked questions
Is a birth certificate the same as a B-Form?
No. Local birth registration and NADRA child registration are separate processes. Check which document the receiving organisation needs.
What if the birth was not registered promptly?
Ask the local authority about delayed registration and any additional evidence or approval required. Do not invent a date or record.
