Birth registration & computerised birth certificate
Births are registered at the Union Council or Municipal Committee and recorded in NADRA's Civil Registration Management System, producing a computerised birth certificate needed for Form-B, school admission and passports. Under the Punjab Birth & Death Registration Rules 2025, registration within seven years is free and no court decree is needed for late registration.
