How to Apply for NADRA Juvenile Card? The Ultimate Guide
NADRA Juvenile Card: To improve services for families, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has introduced a new and efficient process for obtaining NADRA Juvenile Identity Cards (JV) for children under 18 years of age. Unlike the Child Registration Certificate (CRC), this smart card serves as an authorized document with many advantages.
To apply for a NADRA Juvenile Card, parents or blood relatives with a valid National Identity Card (NIC) must visit any NADRA Registration Center (NRC). Unfortunately, the online application facility is currently unavailable and requires a physical visit to the NRC.
