Pakistan joins the Apostille Convention: what changes

Detail

What changed

Pakistan acceded to the Convention on 8 July 2022.¹

Since 9 March 2023, a public document from Pakistan only needs an apostille to be used in another member country, and documents from other member countries only need an apostille to be used in Pakistan.¹

Other member countries could object to the accession. Between Pakistan and a country that objected, the Convention does not apply, so check the specific pair of countries.¹
