Bank Account Certificate & Statement Processing and Embassy Stamps
Embassy visa officers evaluate your economic ties through verified bank maintenance letters and attested financial transaction statements.
What the bank certificate confirms
The maintenance certificate states how long the account has existed and its standing. The statement shows the transactions behind it.
Issuing authority
Scheduled Commercial Bank (Branch Operations Manager / Operations Head)
Proving financial solvency and banking history for foreign study permits or business visas requires a formal Bank Account Maintenance Certificate. Signed by authorized bank branch managers and stamped with the bank seal, the certificate confirms account tenure, currency, and operational status.
Embassies, international universities, and foreign immigration authorities require these banking records to evaluate liquidity, ensure sufficient funds for tuition or living expenses, and eliminate risks of fraudulent documentation. When requested for formal legal dossiers or commercial tenders, banking records require manager verification, notary validation, and MOFA legalisation.
Before a foreign bank accepts it
Letterhead, signatory authority, stated balances, and the certification chain are examined together.
Bank branch letter and account history

- Visit your parent bank branch and request an Account Maintenance Certificate printed on formal bank stationery, signed by two authorised officers with their PIN/P-Numbers.
- Request the official bank statement covering the required period, with every page bearing the bank rubber stamp and teller/manager initials.
- Ensure the account title matches your passport name letter-for-letter.

- If an account certificate omits key details (such as the IBAN or account opening date), request the branch manager to reprint the certificate with full particulars.
- Bank statements cannot be edited. Any discrepancy requires reprinting the entire statement range from the central banking software.
Central NADRA registration required; Manual or unverified Union Council slips cannot be attested. Ensure the civil record is entered in the NADRA national database before filing for MOFA attestation.
Notarisation and embassy legalisation
Notarisation, MOFA attestation, and destination embassy legalisation
- The bank certificate and statement are attested by the bank authorised signatories.

Notary & Oath Commissioner
An affidavit is a sworn statement signed before a notary public or oath commissioner. It carries legal weight because the person signing it declares the facts under oath. False statements in an affidavit are punishable by law. Alongside affidavits, a notary or oath commissioner handles declarations, true copies, and other sworn documents that need an official seal.
