The document

What an authority letter authorises

The letter delegates a specific task to a named person. Anything outside its wording falls outside the authorisation.

Delegating executive power to company representatives for consular filings, customs clearance, or foreign banking requires a formal corporate Authority Letter. Executed on official corporate letterhead and sealed by authorized directors, the letter is authenticated through the Chamber of Commerce and MOFA.

Overseas counterparties and registries ask for attested authority letters when a Pakistani company’s representative must act abroad.

Before it binds anyone

Scope of authorisation, signatory identity, notarisation, and the certification chain are checked together.

01 Stage 01 · Prerequisites

Drafting and signing the authority

SECP certified true copy standards and Chamber of Commerce registration

  • The letter is drafted on company letterhead naming the person, the scope, and the validity.
  • It is signed by the authorised officer and notarised.
  • We draft and process the letter with the commercial attestation chain.

02 Stage 02 · Scrutiny

Scope and signatory review

Corporate registry reconciliation and statutory officer validation

  • An authority letter with the wrong scope is re-issued by the company, since it is not editable after issue.

Chamber endorsement required first; Commercial invoices and certificates of origin require prior authentication from your local Chamber of Commerce and Industry before MOFA legalisation.

03 Stage 03 · Attestation

Certification before it binds anyone

Chamber endorsement, MOFA commercial attestation, and consular certification

  • The authority letter runs the commercial chain, with notarisation, the Chamber of Commerce where required, then MOFA commercial attestation and the destination route.

Arrange preparation
What is the difference between an authority letter and a POA?
An authority letter is transaction-specific and issued by a company for a named task, and a POA grants broader, personal legal authority. Overseas filings state which one they need.
Who signs an authority letter?
The company’s authorised officer, typically a director or the CEO, as the company’s records define.
