Key takeaways

NADRA clarified procedures for obtaining a child B-Form without the mother CNIC.

A mother identity can be verified via her CNIC number or fingerprints if her physical card is missing.

A missing mother CNIC creates complications due to unregistered marriages and missing family numbers.

Replacement B-Forms cost Rs50 for normal processing and Rs500 for executive processing.

Citizens can apply for a replacement B-Form at a NADRA Registration Centre or through the Pak ID app.

The National Database and Registration Authority outlined the application method for a child B-Form, formally called the Child Registration Certificate, if the mother Computerised National Identity Card is missing.

Syed Shabahat Ali, the Public Information Officer, stated that the steps rely on whether the mother card was issued previously or never created.

A missing physical card during a NADRA center visit may not create a major issue if the document already exists.

Biometric scans like fingerprints or the CNIC number can confirm her identity.

The process grows harder when a mother has never received a CNIC.

Official files might lack marriage registration for the parents and a family number, which complicates child registration.

Resolving family registration or missing identity records may be necessary before applying for the B-Form.

How to Apply for a Replacement B-Form

NADRA explained the steps to replace a lost B-Form as well. Citizens can go to a NADRA Registration Centre or use the Pak ID mobile application from home.

Normal category replacement costs Rs50, while the executive category costs Rs500. The B-Form is a vital document for registering children in the national database of Pakistan.
