New Fee Update for CNIC Renewal and B-Form
NADRA Issues New Fee Update for CNIC Renewal and B-Form: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has issued an important announcement for citizens across Pakistan regarding the renewal of national identity cards and the issuance of B-Forms for children. The authority has urged people to complete these processes before June 30, 2026, to avoid possible fee increases and penalties in the future.
This update is particularly important for families whose identity cards have expired or whose children still have a B-Form instead of a Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC).

Why NADRA Is Asking Citizens to Update Their Documents
According to NADRA’s official message shared on social media, many citizens are still using expired identity cards or have not yet registered their children for the B-Form (Child Registration Certificate).
NADRA emphasized that keeping your identity documents updated and accurate is extremely important. Proper documentation helps citizens avoid problems when accessing government services, applying for jobs, opening bank accounts, or dealing with legal matters.
For this reason, people are advised to visit their nearest NADRA registration center and complete the required process as soon as possible.
Deadline to Avoid Possible Fee Increase
NADRA has clearly advised citizens to complete the following processes before 30 June 2026:
- Renewal of expired CNIC
- Registration of children for B-Form
- Conversion of B-Form into CNIC when eligible
Completing these steps before the deadline may help citizens avoid additional charges or increased fees in the future.
