Online Power of Attorney
In addition to the manual attestation of Power of Attorney (POA) presently operational at the Embassy of Pakistan, Paris, an online attestation of POA has recently been launched for Overseas Pakistanis who wish to avail the same. This system has been developed by NADRA in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Through this system, overseas Pakistanis can apply and obtain a POA from the convenience of their homes, without physically visiting the Embassy.
It is a secure service facilitating overseas Pakistanis, who wish to give POA to any person residing in Pakistan. This system is centrally managed by NADRA in Pakistan and those desirous of availing this facility can apply online at:https://poa.nadra.gov.pk
Note: Please note manual PoA is also operational and both systems (onsite and online) will run in parallel for now.
