ISLAMABAD: President Dr Arif Alvi has promulgated the Apostille Ordinance 2024, abolishing the requirement of multiple legalisations for foreign public documents.
According to the Press Wing of the President House, the ordinance has been promulgated to facilitate the citizens in Pakistan and diaspora and fulfil Pakistan’s obligations under the Hague Convention.
The Apostille Convention facilitates the use of public documents abroad by waiving the traditional requirement of multiple legalisations/attestations. Earlier, the federal cabinet had approved the accession of Pakistan to the Apostille Convention in March 2022 and the convention had entered into force for Pakistan in March 2023. The president promulgated the ordinance on the advice of the prime minister, in terms of Article 89 (1) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
