Islamabad, Feb 12: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has clarified recent rumors about the cancellation of the ‘B’ form, confirming that all previously issued forms remain valid. In an official statement posted on social media, NADRA reassured the public that there is no change to the status of earlier-issued ‘B’ forms.
NADRA clarified that parents of children who already hold a ‘B’ form and need to apply for a passport, or those between the ages of 10 and 18 applying for the first time, should visit their nearest NADRA center with their child. Alternatively, applications can also be submitted via the Pak-ID mobile app, offering a more convenient process.
