For Consular Services, please contact the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad.
Voluntary depositions of U.S. nationals may be conducted by U.S. consular officers in Kuwait without prior permission from the Kuwaiti Central Authority for the Hague Evidence Convention, provided no compulsion is used. Advance permission from the Kuwait Central Authority for the Hague Evidence Convention is required before depositions of non-U.S. nationals can be conducted by U.S. consular officers. Additionally, prior permission from the Kuwaiti Central Authority is required for depositions taken by commissioners, regardless of the nationality of the witness. Telephone depositions and video teleconference testimony are possible in Kuwait if the deponent agrees to do so voluntarily, but generally requires that U.S. litigants work with a Kuwaiti law firm to make the arrangements. If the services of a U.S. consular officer are required to administer an oath to the witness, interpreter and stenographer, such arrangements must be made in advance with the U.S. Embassy directly.
Pakistan is not a party to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Legalization of Foreign Public Documents. Documents issued in the United States may be authenticated for use in Pakistan by (a) contacting the U.S. Department of State Authentications Office and (b) then having the seal of the U.S. Department of State authenticated by the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, D.C. Documents issued in U.S. states must first be authenticated by the designated state authority, generally the state Secretary of State.
