What is e-stamp paper?
E-stamp paper is a computer-generated stamp paper that replaced traditional printed stamp papers in several provinces. Each e-stamp carries a unique ID number and barcode recording the stamp duty paid, the parties and the purpose — making forgery and back-dating much harder.
When it is needed
- Rent and lease agreements
- Sale agreements and property-related documents
- Affidavits, undertakings and powers of attorney
- Partnership and other contracts
How to obtain it
- Know the document type and value (stamp duty often depends on these).
- Go to an authorised bank branch or licensed e-stamp vendor, or use your province’s official e-stamping service where online issuance is available.
- Provide the parties’ names and CNICs, the document purpose and amount.
- Pay the stamp duty and service charges; collect the printed e-stamp with its ID and barcode.
Verify before relying on it
Check the unique ID/barcode through your province’s official e-stamp verification service and ensure names, purpose and amount are correct. Do not accept e-stamps from unknown sources.
