- The signing date and stamp date must match
- Submit both original and re-attested copy
3. Submit CNIC Copies
All partners and witnesses must give:
- Original CNIC for verification
- Clear copies of both sides of CNICs
- Self-signed (attested) copies
This confirms everyone’s identity and ensures the registration is legal.
