The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has retained the fee structure for Computerised National Identity Cards (CNIC) and B-Forms as we enter January 2025. This move ensures affordability and accessibility for all citizens.
A CNIC is vital for accessing essential services like opening bank accounts, applying for a passport, obtaining a mobile SIM card, or even securing medical and educational benefits. Similarly, the B-Form, also known as the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), plays a critical role in documenting minors for the national system.
NADRA CNIC Fee Structure – January 2025
The fee structure for obtaining or renewing a CNIC remains unchanged in 2025. The fees are categorized based on the processing speed selected by applicants:
| Category | Fee (PKR) | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 750 | 31 Days |
| Urgent | 1,500 | 23 Days |
| Executive | 2,500 | 10 Days |
To apply for a CNIC, you’ll need to provide basic documents such as a birth certificate or matriculation result card and a copy of a parent or sibling’s CNIC.

B-Form Fee Structure – January 2025
The B-Form remains a critical document for registering a child in the NADRA system. The fee structure for January 2025 is as follows:
| Service Type | Fee (PKR) | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 50 | 7 Days |
| Executive | 500 | 3 Days |
Parents or guardians can apply for the B-Form by presenting the child’s birth certificate and a copy of their own CNIC.
Why CNICs and B-Forms Matter
These documents are not just legal requirements but are gateways to numerous services:
- For Adults: CNICs enable access to financial systems, healthcare services, and educational institutions.
- For Children: B-Forms act as a foundation for later obtaining a CNIC and other essential benefits.
NADRA’s commitment to maintaining its fee structure ensures that these vital documents remain accessible for all citizens, empowering individuals and families across Pakistan.
