| CRC NADRA Explained |
In
this article, I have tried to explain about what CRC NADRA is, the meaning of CRC, its other names and the uses of CRC."
CRC Stands for Child Registration Certificate, a product of NADRA. CRC is a document containing details of
all the children of a family who are under the age of 18 years. These
details include the name of each child, father name, mother name, date of birth, place of birth, disability of
child including unique Identity number.
Each child is
allotted a Unique Identity Number. This Identity number never changes.
Even, as soon as the child attains the age of majority, and applies for
issuance of CNIC, the CNIC is issued with same identity number as mentioned in CRC.
The other
name of CRC is "Form-B" and
some time it may be termed as "B-Form". In urdu, people call it as
"Bay Form" or "Form Bay".
For obtaining
CRC, parents of child or children
whatever the case may be, are required to visit the NADRA office in person as currently
there is no facility by NADRA for issuance of CRC online.
Be noted, If
there are more than one child whose ages are below 18 years, all of the
children are incorporated in one CRC.
Uses of CRC NADRA
A CRC (Form B) can be used in various
forums and for various purposes. As I mentioned earlier, that CRC is an
identity document for each child mentioned in CRC therefore, to prove the
identity of a child, it can be used anywhere.
For example,
for admission of a child, you can produce CRC to the school administration.
In court for
issuance of Succession Certificate, Heirship Certificate or Guardianship
Certificate, CRC can be submitted in court. In the same way, there are other purposes for which a CRC can be used.
In support of
Visit Visa application, an applicant can provide CRC along with its translation to prove
that he has certain children who are in Pakistan and he will come back to Pakistan to join his family.
