Proving the legal birth and statutory existence of a Pakistani corporate entity abroad requires the SECP Certificate of Incorporation. Issued under the Companies Act 2017, certified copies of incorporation certificates require Ministry of Foreign Affairs legalisation for foreign commercial recognition.

Certified copies are issued by SECP against the company number. The certificate is then attested when it must be accepted by a foreign registry, bank, or regulator.

02 Stage 02 · Scrutiny

Company name and registration checks

Corporate registry reconciliation and statutory officer validation

  • Errors on the certificate are corrected by SECP against the company record, and the corrected certificate is then re-issued.

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

Attestation for foreign registries

Chamber endorsement, MOFA commercial attestation, and consular certification

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

Proving your company exists

SECP records and what foreign registries request.
