CRC or B-Form for under 18 years Pakistanis residing abroad

The purpose of issuing of Children Registration Certificate is to register all children with Pakistani citizenship and who are below the age of 18 years at the time of application for registration regardless of their stay inland or abroad. This data would be a source of verification for the subsequent request for NICOP/CNIC upon the attainment of 18 years of age.
