Other consular services
Notarial and documentary services
For legal reasons, we’re unable to carry out notarial acts in Commonwealth countries. This includes certifying documents as true copies of originals, administering oaths or taking affidavits. For these or other notarial acts, you should contact a local notary. A standard letter is available to confirm we do not offer these services in Pakistan.
We offer a limited range of documentary services. See the list of documentary services we provide.
Consular fees
We charge fees for some of our services. See the full list of consular fees in Pakistan.
We also provide services in Karachi.
Development work in Pakistan
The International Development Strategy (IDS) sets out a new approach to development. It does this through long-term partnerships tailored to the needs of each country the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office works with, built on mutual accountability and transparency. The Integrated Review Refresh (IR23) reiterates that sustainable development is central to UK foreign policy and sets out how the UK will go further and faster to reduce poverty.
For information on how the IDS and IR23 are being implemented in Pakistan, view the UK-Pakistan development partnership summary.
For up-to-date information on the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme work in Pakistan, view the Development Tracker.
