Notarial Services at Pakistan Embassies

Power of Attorney (General & Special)

A Power of Attorney allows you to authorise someone in Pakistan to act on your behalf for property transactions, legal proceedings, business dealings, or financial matters. The embassy attests your signature on the document. You must appear in person with your CNIC/NICOP and the pre-prepared POA document.

Affidavits & Sworn Statements

Embassy officials can administer oaths on affidavits, declarations, and sworn statements. Common uses include: name change affidavits, single status declarations (for marriage purposes), address verification, and lost document declarations.

Certified True Copies

The embassy can certify copies of original documents as true copies. Bring the original document and the photocopy. The consular officer will compare them and stamp the copy as certified.

Signature Verification

The embassy can verify your signature on documents that require consular attestation. You must sign the document in front of the consular officer.

Document Translation Attestation

If you have documents translated from Urdu to English (or vice versa), the embassy can attest the translation as accurate. The translation must be done by a certified translator.

Fees vary by embassy. Some missions charge per page for multi-page documents. Contact your embassy for exact rates.
