ABOUT MOFA

What is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is Pakistan's official authority responsible for authenticating documents that have already been verified by the relevant issuing authorities. MOFA legalization confirms that signatures and seals on Pakistani public documents are genuine before they are presented to foreign embassies or overseas institutions.

In many international documentation procedures, MOFA attestation is the final Pakistani government verification before Embassy Legalization or Apostille, depending on the destination country's requirements.
