Power of Attorney

To ease the overseas Pakistani who are unable to visit Pakistan Embassies/Consulates, the Government of Pakistan has launched a new service of Online Power of Attorney.

However, Online Power of Attorney will not be processed on the same day as it requires scheduling of interview with the applicant.

Note:

Currently Online/Digital Power of Attorney is not operational at this Consulate and only manual Power of Attorney (PoA) is processing at Istanbul.

Moreover, manual Power of Attorney is more convenient as compare to the Digital PoA. Manual Power of Attorney is done on the same day.

Guidelines for Manual Power of Attorney:

The applicant has to visit the Consulate in person along with his/her already prepared Power of Attorney (the consulate do not prepare the text of the Power of Attorney).

The Consulate will only attest the Power of Attorney and return the same to the applicant on the same day.

Please also bring your current picture along with copies of Passport/Turkish Kimlik. 

40$ is the fee to process the Power of Attorney. (Fee only to be paid in the Bank in US$)
