Steps to get started
- For a domestic flight, check the airline’s current identification rules for every passenger before booking. Confirm which original identity document is accepted, including CNIC, NICOP or passport where relevant, and check that booking details match.
- For children, ask the carrier which age and identity evidence it accepts. A B-Form or CRC may be relevant, but do not assume it is the only required document or accepted for every child and journey.
- For a road trip, check the transport operator’s identification conditions. If driving, confirm the required driving licence and vehicle papers with the relevant transport or traffic authority; this checklist is not a substitute for local rules.
- Keep necessary originals accessible and secure. Store backup copies separately with restricted access; do not post CNIC images, children’s records or tickets in public groups.
- Check document validity and names before departure. If a document is lost or being renewed, ask the carrier what alternatives it accepts instead of assuming a photo or application receipt will be enough.
Before you apply
Copies are backups, not guaranteed substitutes for originals. This guide covers trips within Pakistan, not international entry or visa requirements. Confirm current rules with your airline, transport operator and relevant official authority.

Frequently asked questions
Is a B-Form enough for a child’s domestic flight?
Ask the airline about the child’s age and circumstances. Do not assume a B-Form alone meets every carrier’s current requirements.
Can I use a CNIC photo instead of the original?
Do not rely on that without confirmation. Ask the carrier or authority which documents and formats it accepts before travelling.
Do these documents cover international Eid trips?
No. International travel has separate passport, entry, transit and visa requirements that must be checked with the destination authorities and carrier.
