Attestation Steps Guide

1

Board Verification

School degrees must be verified at the source (HEC for university degrees, IBCC for boards).

2

MOFA Verification

After educational checks, documents must be presented at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

3

Embassy Submission

The final step is submitting the MOFA-attested file to the destination country’s embassy.

Attestation Mistakes to Avoid

Submitting incorrect folders can cause immediate delays. We help you avoid:

  • Laminated papers: Ministry stamps cannot be placed on plastic laminations. They must be removed.
  • Skipping HEC check: MOFA will not attest university degrees unless they are pre-verified by HEC.
  • Spelling errors: Having different names on matric certificate compared to passport.
  • Outdated registry certs: Submitting older manual marriage records instead of Union Council computerized certs.

Attestation Support FAQs

Attestations are performed only by official government officers at HEC, MOFA, or embassies. We help you prepare correct files so they are not rejected at the counter.

Official seals and stamps cannot adhere to plastic lamination. You must carefully remove the plastic before submission.

If your name differs between transcripts and passports, you may need a legal affidavit or correction from the issuing board. We check your files for these differences.
