Confession Letter

How to Obtain a Confession Letter

A confession letter is a legal document in which three eligible individuals confess a specific matter in the presence of two witnesses. The witnesses then confirm the validity of the confession and testify to it. After a thorough review of the documents, verification of the confession’s accuracy, and adherence to legal formalities, the embassy or consular section certifies this document and records it in the legal documents section.

Conditions for a Confession Letter
  • Conditions for the Confessing Party: The confessing person must be mature, sane, intentional, and acting voluntarily. Therefore, confessions made by individuals who are insane, minors, unintentional, or under coercion are not valid.
  • In Financial Matters:If the subject of the confession is a financial obligation, the confessor must be of legal age and should not be legally incompetent (safih). Additionally, in financial matters, a person who is bankrupt or insolvent cannot provide a valid confession.
  • Conditions for the Validity of the Confession: The confession document must not be conditional and cannot include matters that contradict existing laws or are considered impossible from a rational or customary perspective.
Presence and Submission of Identity Documents:
  1. The confessing parties, witnesses, and the person in whose favor the confession is made (the beneficiary) must be physically present at the embassy with valid identity documents (such as an Afghan Tazkira or passport).
  2. Each individual mentioned must also provide a recent passport-sized photo with a white background.
Types of Confession Letters:
  1. Marriage Confession Letter
  2. Single Status Confession Letter
  3. Other Types of Legal Confession Letters
Important Notes

Note: The beneficiary, i.e., the person in whose favor the confession is made, must be clearly identified and specified. Confessions related to an unknown individual or matter will not be valid.
