In a bid to facilitate applicants seeking apostille attestation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Islamabad, and its liaison offices in Karachi and Lahore have collaborated with courier companies to provide document attestation services.

As part of this initiative, designated courier companies will collect documents from applicants, which will then be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The courier companies authorized to collect documents for apostille attestation in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi include TCS, M&P, Gerry’s, Leopard, and ECS.

According to a Foreign Office statement, the courier companies are authorized to accept all documents except Power of Attorney.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has eased the apostille legalisation services by listing five courier companies for the delivery of documents.

This new initiative aims to facilitate applicants by allowing them to submit their documents through courier companies, including Gerry’s International, Leopards Courier Service, Excellent Courier Services, M&P Express Logistics, and TCS.

“The service charges and delivery rates for these courier services have been standardised and are now available in a comprehensive table,” it said in a post on X.
