The application process for CNICs requires applicants to provide either a birth certificate or matriculation result card, along with a copy of a family member’s CNIC. B-Form applications must include proof of the child’s birth from the Union Council office and valid identification from at least one parent or legal guardian, which can be either a National Identity Card or National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP). NADRA has also announced enhanced security features for child documentation, scheduled to begin on January 15, 2025. The improvements include the addition of thumb impressions and photographs to prevent identity misuse, building upon the agency’s recent implementation of biometric identification for children over 10 years old.
