For Pakistani citizens eyeing higher education or career opportunities abroad, verifying their degrees through the Higher Education Commission (HEC) is a crucial step.
To simplify and enhance convenience for applicants, the HEC has launched an online platform for degree attestation.
Aspiring candidates are encouraged to kickstart the attestation process by visiting the official website. Once they’ve filled out the online application, the next step involves submitting their documents for initial review.
After a successful initial assessment, applicants will receive notifications via SMS and email from the HEC. This will enable them to either schedule an urgent walk-in appointment for in-person submissions or opt for document submission via courier.

Modes For HEC Degree Attestation
HEC provides two modes for degree attestation in Pakistan:
- Walk-in Mode (Urgent Applications Only): Applicants can personally submit their documents or authorize someone else to do so on their behalf.
