Who holds a Federal Board certificate
The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education issues certificates for students who studied in federal institutions, cantonment schools, overseas Pakistani schools, and some private schools affiliated with the Federal Board. FBISE verification is the first step before IBCC attestation or MOFA.
Unlike provincial BISE offices spread across different cities, FBISE operates from its campus in Islamabad. This makes the filing straightforward for us since our office is in the same city.
FBISE checks the candidate number and result against its own record and applies a verification stamp. The process takes 3 to 5 working days. Once verified, the certificate can move to IBCC for international attestation and then to MOFA and the embassy.
Students who studied at Pakistani schools abroad (in Saudi Arabia, UAE, or other countries) are often FBISE candidates. Their certificates need the same FBISE verification step before the rest of the sequence can begin.

What follows FBISE verification
After FBISE, the certificate usually goes to IBCC and then MOFA for overseas attestation.
BISE Board Attestation
BISE board attestation is the base layer under every school certificate leaving the country. Before IBCC adds its stamp, the board that printed the marksheet must confirm it. Each BISE only verifies what it issued, from Lahore and Rawalpindi to Karachi, FBISE, and Peshawar. Families relocating children and applicants building dependent visa files need this first confirmation in place. Once the board verifies its own certificate, the document can move to IBCC for international attestation and then to MOFA and the embassy. We cover the major boards. Lahore Board, Rawalpindi Board, Karachi Board, Peshawar Board, Faisalabad Board, Multan Board, Gujranwala Board, Sialkot Board, FBISE, and others. Each board has its own counter and verification timeline, typically 2 to 4 working days.
IBCC Certificate Attestation
The Inter Boards Coordination Commission sits in Islamabad and verifies certificates from all Pakistani education boards. When a foreign institution or visa office asks for IBCC attestation, they want proof that the certificate is genuine and the grades are correct. IBCC contacts the relevant board (Lahore Board, Federal Board, Karachi Board, and so on) and confirms the result. Once verified, IBCC applies its stamp. The stamped certificate can then move to MOFA and the embassy if needed for overseas use. This service covers Matric (SSC) and Intermediate (HSSC) certificates. University degrees go to HEC instead. Some Gulf employers confuse the two and ask for HEC attestation of a Matric certificate, which is not possible. We check with the employer to confirm the correct route before filing. We collect the original certificate from your address, file it at IBCC, and return the attested copy. Processing takes 3 to 5 working days for most boards.
MOFA Attestation
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the second stamp on any Pakistani document heading overseas. After the issuing body confirms the document (HEC for degrees, IBCC for school certificates, NADRA for personal documents), MOFA adds its own stamp that confirms the prior verification. MOFA runs two routes. The traditional attestation feeds into the embassy step for non-Hague countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The apostille route is a single stamp valid in all Hague Convention member states, including the UK, Germany, Australia, Turkey, and others. Pakistan acceded to the Hague Convention, and the apostille route entered into force on 9 January 2024. MOFA operates from offices in Islamabad and Lahore. The Islamabad office handles the bulk of the volume. We file on your behalf at whichever office is faster for your case. Processing takes 2 to 3 working days for personal and educational documents, and 3 to 5 working days for legal and commercial documents. Express service can finish in about a day for eligible files.
Countries that accept FBISE Attestation (Federal Board)
Every country has its own rules after FBISE Attestation (Federal Board). Pick one to see the sequence, embassy details, and fees.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia attestation from Pakistan starts with the document authority. Every Pakistani document bound for Saudi Arabia must pass through HEC, then MOFA, then the Saudi Embassy stamp before a Riyadh employer, university or kafala sponsor will accept it. Most professional work visas add a fourth step, the Saudi Cultural Mission verification known as Mosadaqa, which PMDC doctors and PEC engineers hit almost every time and which stretches the file from four weeks to ten. Degrees run HEC, MOFA, Embassy. Family papers such as marriage and birth certificates instead start at NADRA. The basic sequence without Mosadaqa turns around fastest, and the employer letter is what decides whether Mosadaqa is even required.
Attestation Chain
Embassy
Embassy of Saudi Arabia, Diplomatic Enclave, Islamabad
Sunday to Thursday, timings vary by consular section
Timeline & Fees
2 to 10 weeks depending on whether Mosadaqa is required
Service fee from Rs. 4,500. Embassy fee Rs. 2,300 per document. Mosadaqa adds Rs. 70,000 to 85,000 when required.
Common Questions
Is Mosadaqa always required for Saudi Arabia?
No. It is usually asked for medical, engineering, and teaching roles, but the final requirement comes from your employer or sponsor. We confirm with them before starting so you do not pay for a step you may not need.
Can family visas skip HEC attestation?
Yes. Family documents such as marriage and birth certificates start with NADRA verification, then MOFA, then the Saudi Embassy. HEC only handles university degrees.
How long does the Saudi Embassy take after MOFA?
Most files return within 5 to 7 working days unless the embassy asks for additional documents. The full sequence from HEC through to the Saudi Embassy usually takes 2 to 3 weeks without Mosadaqa.
Can I get Saudi attestation without visiting Islamabad?
Yes. We collect your documents from any city in Pakistan, handle HEC, MOFA and the Saudi Embassy in Islamabad, and return them to your door with tracking and insurance.
What is the Saudi Culture online portal fee?
The total cost for Saudi Cultural Mission verification (Mosadaqa) is approximately Rs. 70,000 to 85,000, including portal fees and service charges. The exact fee depends on your qualification and employer category.
UAE
The UAE accepts Pakistani documents only after they carry MOFA and UAE Embassy stamps. A degree for a Dubai employment visa runs HEC, MOFA, and the UAE Embassy. A NADRA marriage certificate for family sponsorship in Abu Dhabi runs NADRA, MOFA, and the UAE Embassy. Each emirate may have its own typing centre or visa channel, but the attestation sequence is the same. We lodge the file and track it so the document is ready before your visa appointment.

Timeline & Fees
5 to 7 working days after MOFA
Service fee from Rs. 4,500. UAE Embassy fee approximately Rs. 32,000 to 33,000 per document through VFS Global.
Common Questions
Does each emirate need a different stamp?
No. The UAE Embassy in Islamabad handles attestation for all emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ajman. The stamp is valid across the UAE.
Can I use an apostille for the UAE?
No. The UAE is not a Hague Apostille member, so embassy attestation is required after MOFA. There is no apostille route for UAE bound documents.
How much does UAE embassy attestation cost from Pakistan?
The UAE Embassy attestation fee is approximately Rs. 32,000 to 33,000 per document, processed through VFS Global. Our service fee starts from Rs. 4,500 and covers pickup, filing, and insured return delivery.
Do I need GDRFA approval alongside attestation?
GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs) approval is a separate process from attestation. Some UAE visa types require GDRFA approval before your employer can apply for the visa, but the document attestation sequence is the same regardless.
Qatar
Qatar asks for clean, undamaged originals. A torn corner or stain at the Qatar Embassy counter can get the file rejected, so we inspect every document before submission. The standard sequence is HEC or NADRA, then MOFA, then the Qatar Embassy. Once attested, the document is usually taken to Qatar and submitted to the Ministry of Interior or sponsor along with the visa application.

Yes. The Qatar Embassy requires the MOFA Stamp as a prerequisite for most documents.
How much does Qatar embassy attestation cost?
Qatar Embassy attestation fees are approximately Rs. 22,500 per degree and Rs. 22,500 per transcript. Our service fee starts from Rs. 4,500 and covers pickup, filing, and insured return delivery.
