Pakistani consulate in Des Moines
No Pakistani mission operates in Des Moines. What covers this city is the office in Chicago, under the jurisdiction set in 2012.
Where Des Moines is served from
It is 335 miles to Chicago, roughly 6 h 17 min at legal speeds on an empty road.
Iowa is assigned to the Consulate General of Pakistan, Chicago. The circular that sets this out splits the country five ways along state lines rather than by driving time, which is why some journeys are long.
This is the longest of the main journeys in the state. From Davenport it is 162 miles shorter.
What never needs the journey
- The visa portal is visa.nadra.gov.pk
- Passport renewal lives at onlinemrp.dgip.gov.pk
- Attestation of a power of attorney happens at poa.nadra.gov.pk
- A succession certificate comes from succession.nadra.gov.pk
Work out which of these you actually need at a counter. From Des Moines that distinction is worth several hours.
