B-Form and FRC service Karachi

 1. B‑Form in Karachi šŸ‡µšŸ‡°

What Is It?

B‑Form, officially known as the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), is a birth registration document for minors under 18 in Pakistan. It’s mandatory for accessing education, applying for passports, school enrollment, and other legal purposes

What's New in 2025?

Starting January 15, 2025, NADRA introduced photo and fingerprint verification for all kids aged 10 to under 18 at NRCs. The new version will now include biometric data, making older B‑Forms invalid for passport and official use

Tips & Local Insights

From Reddit users in Karachi:

“FRC is usually provided immediately, costs about 1000.”
“You can apply online and pay 1000 Rs fee—they will send you colored PDF.”

While those comments refer to FRC, they illustrate how the digital system operates: fast, color‑coded PDF documents delivered electronically.
