The B-Form, officially known as the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), is the very first identity record issued for a child in Pakistan. It serves as proof that a child has been registered in the national civil database and is essential for various legal, academic, and administrative purposes—including school enrollment, passport issuance, and access to government services. Obtaining a B-Form is a critical step in securing a child’s identity and rights within the country.
