How to Buy a DHA Phase 10 File From Abroad — Complete Remote Transfer Guide

2026-03-07

One of the most common questions I receive from clients abroad is: "Can I buy a Phase 10 file

without coming to Pakistan?" The short answer is yes — and it's more straightforward than

most people expect.


Here is exactly how it works:


Step 1 — Power of Attorney (POA)

You appoint a trusted person in Pakistan as your attorney. This person acts on your behalf

for the transfer. The POA must be signed in Pakistan or attested by the Pakistani Embassy

in your country of residence.


Step 2 — Document Checklist (Your Side)

Original CNIC (Pakistani ID) | CNIC copy | POA document | Passport copy (for overseas)


Step 3 — The Transfer

Your attorney and the seller appear at DHA office. Transfer fee is paid. The new file in

your name is typically issued within a few working days.


I have handled this process for clients in the UK, UAE, Canada, and KSA. If you'd like
