NADRA Makes Major Changes to National Identity Laws

NADRA has updated national identity regulations to simplify public procedures, according to Media Director Syed Shabahat Ali.

Key updates include:

Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates remain under Union Councils.
Children’s photos are now added to the B-Form.
CRCs for children under 3 will follow the old format without photos.
For children over 3, CRCs will include photos and biometrics; a new version will be required at ages 10 and 18.
Old B-Forms remain valid, but a new CRC is now required for passport applications.
Each child will get a separate B-Form.
Family details are accessible via NADRA’s mobile app.
