The Juvenile Card is an official identity card issued to Pakistani citizens under 18 years of age. Unlike the CRC (B-Form) which is just a registration certificate, the Juvenile Card functions as a smart ID card with an embedded chip. It is used for matric exams, SIM registration, domestic travel, and bank accounts for minors.
If the child already holds a CRC (B-Form), no additional documents are required. If no CRC exists, bring: • Computerized Birth Registration Certificate (from Union Council / Municipal Committee / Cantonment) for children born in Pakistan • Detailed Birth Certificate or S-1 Form for children born abroad One parent must be present with a valid CNIC or NICOP.
(A) NADRA Registration Centre (NRC): Visit the nearest NRC with the child and one parent. Both must be physically present. (B) Pak Identity Mobile App: Parents can apply via the Pak ID app (Android & iOS). Navigate to: Home → ID Documents → ID Card → My Blood Relatives. The child's biometric will still need to be captured at a NADRA centre or via the app.
At the NRC: Biometric verification of one parent (fingerprints) is captured. The child's photograph and fingerprints are taken. A parent attests the application, followed by an interview with the OIC (Officer In Charge). Via app: Parent's biometrics are captured in the app, and the child's photo and fingerprints are submitted digitally.
Pay based on your selected processing speed. Note: delivery fee of PKR 165 is charged separately.
Collect the Juvenile Card from the NADRA office with your original receipt, or opt for home delivery (PKR 165 extra). The card is a smart ID with a chip — it serves as the child's official identity document. The card's validity automatically expires when the child reaches age 10 or 18. At 18, the holder must apply for a full CNIC within 90 days.
