Attestation for Students, Documents and Routes for Study Abroad
You are applying to a university abroad, and the admission file asks for attested degrees, transcripts, and school certificates. Attestation for students from Pakistan is the document side of that application, where the right office stamps each paper in the right order so the equivalence or credential evaluation lands before your deadline. We prepare, file, and track the Pakistan-side work while you focus on applications and exams.
Your situation
You are applying to a university abroad, and the admission file asks for attested degrees, transcripts, and school certificates.

Your route, step by step
A shortlist of the services, documents, and destinations that matter for your file. Each link goes to the page that owns the detail.
Start with the evaluation
The ECA report and the equivalence certificate are the two documents admissions teams check first. Start these before anything else.
For Canadian applications, filed under your own reference number with the ECA body.
The HEC attestation that admission files and ECA bodies ask for on degrees and transcripts, issued as an online e-certificate since May 2026.
For O and A level students, with grades converted to Pakistani marks for admission.
Documents you will need
Each document has a reference page covering who issues it, how to correct it, and when it needs legalisation.
Sealed by the university and sent to WES, IQAS, or ICAS unopened.
Attested by HEC for the admission and scholarship file.
The IBCC document that maps O and A level grades to Pakistani marks.
Certified copies for the application file.
Where you are headed
The destination sets the final stamp. Open the country page for the route that applies to your file.
The WES, IQAS, or ICAS decision layer for study permits.
Apostille route for UK admissions.
What US universities ask for.
Apostille route for Australian admissions.
Germany objected to Pakistan\u2019s apostille, so the route is confirmed per case.
What is different for students
Your file is different from a work or family file in four ways. These are the ones that cause the delays.
The ECA timing trap
WES, IQAS, and ICAS reports take weeks after your documents arrive there, and some universities want the report before the application deadline. Start the Pakistan-side attestation at least two months before the first deadline, not after the offer.
Sealed transcripts
Most ECA bodies and universities want the transcript in a sealed university envelope. An opened envelope, or an unsealed copy, can send the file back to the start. We confirm the seal rule for the body you are filing with.
Equivalence is not attestation
IBCC equivalence converts O and A level grades to Pakistani marks, and attestation is a stamp on a document. They are separate files with separate timelines, and mixing them up is the most common delay in student files.
Name consistency
The name on every certificate must match your passport and CNIC exactly. A mismatch is a common reason files come back, so we check it before filing.
Questions for students
Do you prepare the visa application?
Will WES accept my sealed transcript?
Can I send documents to WES directly from Pakistan?
Do I need IBCC equivalence if I studied O and A levels?
How early should I start before my deadline?
