Biometrics shall be captured for children over the age of 15 as per the specified accepted age of juvenile biometrics for the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). Such Child Smart Card carrying biometric data shall be valid beyond the age of 18 as Smart NICs also.
Malik said that like smart identity card this card will also be the safest and most secure card because it cannot be replicated or forged. He said a chip will be fitted into the card which helps the government to provide all out facilities like health and education record, life insurance and financial assistance in case of calamity to this specific segment of society.
Nadra currently issues Child Registration Certificate (CRC) for registration of children under the age of 18. CRC is printed on A4 sized secure paper holding the child’s name, gender and date of birth.
There is no picture of the child on the CRC. However, the new Smart Card will carry child’s picture with biometric record. This card is not mandatory. CRC (B-Form) shall remain valid and NADRA shall continue to issue the same as per registration policy in vogue.
