Why Malaysia needs the embassy route
Malaysia is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so the apostille route does not apply to a Pakistan to Malaysia file. Documents headed to Malaysia follow the traditional sequence, from issuing body verification through MOFA attestation to the stamp of the High Commission of Malaysia in Islamabad.
Malaysia demand from Pakistan is growing for study files (Malaysian universities admit a steady number of Pakistani students) and work files (construction, services, and hospitality roles). Both use the same legalisation chain. The difference is the set of documents in the file.
The sequence is HEC for degrees, IBCC for school certificates, or NADRA for personal records, then MOFA, then the Malaysian High Commission stamp. We file each step and return the attested documents with tracking.
The full chain usually runs about 10 to 15 working days.

How the Malaysia High Commission stamp fits
We file the MOFA attestation and the Malaysia High Commission stamp, and return the attested documents to your door.

The Malaysia route needs the issuing body attestation on the document before MOFA will accept it. We collect the pre-verified original from your address.
MOFA attestation filed
We file the document at MOFA and confirm the prior verification.
Malaysia High Commission stamp
The MOFA-attested document is filed at the High Commission of Malaysia in Islamabad for the final stamp.
Dispatched back to you
The attested documents are dispatched to your address.

What Malaysia file customers told us
Feedback from students and workers who attested documents for Malaysia.
"My admission to a Malaysian university required embassy attestation on my degree. Attestdone filed HEC, MOFA, and the Malaysia Embassy in sequence and the university accepted the file before my visa interview."
Daniyal Hussain
Lahore
"Malaysia does not accept the apostille for Pakistani documents, so the embassy stamp was mandatory. Attestdone ran the full sequence and the embassy returned my degree in ten days. The wait for an embassy slot added a few days, which they told me about in advance."

Steps around the Malaysia stamp
The issuing body verification and MOFA come first, and the High Commission stamp closes the file.
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 destinations like the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Malaysia. The apostille route is a single stamp valid in Hague Convention member states that accept Pakistani apostilles, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, China, the UK, Australia, and others. Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland are members but objected to Pakistan's accession, so the apostille is not accepted there and we verify each case with the receiving office. Pakistan acceded to the Hague Convention, and the apostille route entered into force on 9 March 2023. Our main office is in Lahore, where we coordinate intake, customer support, and nationwide dispatch. MOFA operates from offices in Lahore and Islamabad, so we file at the location that fits your document and route. Legal documents such as power of attorney, court orders, and affidavits, and commercial documents such as board resolutions, certificates of origin, and export invoices, run separate tracks at MOFA with their own fees and timelines. Legal papers must be notarised first. Commercial papers must be verified by the Chamber of Commerce or SECP before MOFA will accept them. Both classes are covered on this page. Personal and educational documents run 2 to 3 working days at MOFA, and legal and commercial files 3 to 5. Express service can finish in about a day for eligible files.
HEC Degree and Transcript Attestation
HEC’s Degree Attestation System went fully online and paperless on 11 May 2026. There is no counter visit and no original to send. Your degree and transcript are verified digitally against the university record, and HEC issues a downloadable, verifiable e-Attestation Certificate in place of the old stamp. The application runs through the HEC e-Services portal at eservices.hec.gov.pk. We build it from clean scans or photos of your documents, enter your academic record, upload what HEC asks for, and pay the government fee (a route-specific amount per document) online through 1-Link. The degree and transcript are separate applications with separate fees, and we submit them together so both verification cycles run at the same time. The slow step is the university. HEC asks your university to confirm the registration number, year of passing, and grades before it issues the certificate. If the university is slow, our team follows up directly with the registrar so your file does not sit idle. Most people come to us for HEC attestation because they are applying for a Gulf work visa, a Canadian immigration file through WES, IQAS, or ICAS, or a job that needs foreign credential recognition. HEC is the first step in many of these cases. For assessor files, we check the receiving body’s instructions first, because some routes use the HEC e-attestation while others ask the university to send the record directly. When the destination requires MOFA and the embassy to see the physical documents, your originals then move through those steps with the e-certificate on the file. You never send your originals for the HEC step itself. Clean scans are enough, and you get the e-Attestation Certificate the moment HEC issues it, plus WhatsApp updates at every stage.
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. The board step runs inside the same order. Provincial certificates are confirmed by their issuing BISE, and federal or overseas Pakistani school certificates by FBISE from its Islamabad campus. You do not need a separate board filing. 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. Most boards complete the attestation in 3 to 5 working days.
The Malaysia route in context
Malaysia is a non-member, so the embassy route applies. The destination details are covered on the Malaysia country page.
Malaysia
Malaysia is not a signatory to the Apostille Convention, meaning Pakistani documents must complete the traditional consular route. Educational credentials for EMGS student visas and commercial or professional records for Malaysian employment passes must pass through HEC or NADRA, MOFA, and the Malaysia High Commission in Islamabad. We manage each counter submission and return your legalised files.
