Attestation is the whole problem
A Pakistani power executed abroad must be attested by a Pakistani consulate and then, in Pakistan, by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before a registry or a court will act on it.
A power signed before a US notary and apostilled is not the route Pakistani offices expect. The attestation chain is the step that makes the document work, and applicants discover the gap after posting the deed. We name the endorsements the document carries.
Registration, and property
A power authorising the sale of immovable property is registered with the sub-registrar, and Pakistani courts have looked closely at general powers used to transfer property in place of a sale deed.
So a general power will not do what a US reader might assume. We name the instrument and reproduce the registration details.
The special power, and the enumerated acts
Pakistani practice distinguishes a general power from a special power for a named act, and property, litigation and banking each require the act to be enumerated.
A registry examines the enumeration and refuses anything outside it. We reproduce the list clause by clause.
CNIC, witnesses and English
Parties are identified by CNIC, the thirteen-digit national identity number, and Pakistani execution uses witnesses with their own CNICs recorded.
Pakistani powers are largely in English, so a translation may be unnecessary — ask the office first. Urdu appears on stamp papers and endorsements. See our Urdu page.
Ordering, and what the certification covers
Upload the document, choose certified translation at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, and it comes back typically within 24 hours as a PDF formatted to mirror the original, with a signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead. Marginal annotations are translated in place, in the margin, and every seal, stamp and registry endorsement is translated with the text. See how we translate and certified versus standard.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my apostilled power refused?
Pakistani offices expect consular attestation and then Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation in Pakistan, not an apostille.
Can a general power transfer property?
Courts have looked closely at that practice. A general power is not a substitute for a registered sale deed.
Do the acts need listing?
Yes. A registry examines the enumeration and refuses anything outside it.
Do I need a translation?
Often not — Pakistani powers are largely in English. Urdu appears on stamp papers and endorsements.
