Degree Attestation from HEC

Document Attestation from Higher Education Commission (HEC)

HEC Degree Attestation is a mandatory requirement for students, professionals, and overseas Pakistanis who need their educational qualifications verified for higher studies, employment, or immigration. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan is the sole authority responsible for verifying and authenticating degrees and transcripts issued by recognized universities and institutions in Pakistan.

Without proper attestation from HEC, your academic documents may not be accepted abroad by universities, employers, embassies, or government bodies. That is why it is important to prepare the required documents and follow the correct procedure to avoid delays or rejection.

  • Issued by a recognized Pakistani university or institution.

  • Genuine and not forged or altered.

  • Valid for use inside and outside Pakistan.

It is required for:

  • Overseas employment visas (especially in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait).

  • Admission in international universities for higher education.
