DEGREE ATTESTATION REQUIREMENTS FROM SAUDI CULTURE (Mosadaqa) AND SAUDI EMBASSY REQUIREMENTS
Degree Attestation from Saudi Culture (Mosadaqa) and Saudi Embassy is a mandatory process for anyone planning to work or obtain an Iqama in Saudi Arabia. It verifies that your academic degree is genuine and issued by a recognized university in Pakistan. The attestation process involves multiple authorities, including the Higher Education Commission (HEC), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA Pakistan), the Saudi Cultural Attaché, and the Saudi Embassy in Islamabad. Understanding these requirements ensures your documents are accepted smoothly for employment, visa, or residency purposes in Saudi Arabia.
Important Rules Before Applying
The Saudi Cultural Attaché will not attest any degree obtained through online, distance learning, external, private, or overseas education systems. Only regular degrees issued by recognized Pakistani universities are accepted.
Your name and father’s name must match exactly on your degree, passport, CNIC, job contract, and request letters. Even a minor spelling difference can delay or reject your attestation.
