Notary services in Pakistan: what they cost and how to order

Updated 31 October 2026

A notary's fee for one document in Pakistan is about Rs 50 to Rs 200 for a basic service, and about Rs 500 per document for a medium or high-end service, approximately, according to sellers' websites and guides, October 2026. The fee depends on the type and number of documents, so the quickest way to a firm figure for your papers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the rules say about notary fees

Notary fees in Pakistan are set by rules rather than by each notary alone. The West Pakistan Notaries Rules, 1965 list the fees payable for notarial work and allow a notary to charge an extra fee when asked to attend a place away from the office. The Notaries Ordinance, 1961 also sets fees by rate. Ask the notary to confirm the fee for each document in writing before the act, and to say whether any travel charge applies.

Call-outs and same-day visits

If you need a notary to come to your office, a home or a bank, say so in the request, because the extra fee for attending a place away from the office is separate from the notarisation fee. In Islamabad one provider advertises a fixed fee with same-day service, so ask whether that option exists for your document and confirm the total before the visit.

Season and climate

Pakistan's climate has a very hot summer from May to September and a mild winter from November to March. Notary work is mostly indoors, so the season rarely changes the fee, but a call-out in the hot months means a long, hot visit. If the notary has to attend a place away from the office, the mild months from November to March are the more comfortable time for both sides. October 2026 falls between the two.

Delivery between cities and what to write in your request

Notaries work in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad, and the fee is quoted per document, not per hour. Write the notarial act you need, such as attesting a copy, the subject of the document, the number of documents, the parties, the city and area, the day you need it, and your budget. A request with these details lets the notary quote a fixed fee.

Describe the matter in your own words in a BlaBlaPrice chat, and add a photo of the document if it helps.

Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own fee and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them.
