HEC Degree Attestation from Pakistan

I recently received a job offer from a leading semi- government employer in Abu Dhabi. It was the offer that I had been waiting for forever. Until yet, I had been working in the private sector in U.A.E on Husband Visa. However, the new job required that I change my visa status and work on my company visa. For that I urgently required my last degree to be attested by HEC.

It was an uphill task managing things from U.A.E, holding onto the old job and preparing for the new one all at once. It was time taking and expensive. So I decided to share my experiences with other Pakistani expats working in U.A.E.

The purpose of this blog is to make the process easier and to provide all necessary cost estimations and contact details of the right people and degree attestation service providers in Pakistan.

The people benefitting from this blog would be expats residing in U.A.E who need to get their degrees attested and job seekers in Pakistan who need to relocate to U.A.E.

Procedure of Attestation of Degree from HEC:

Step 1: Obtain IBCC equivalence certificates for O Levels & A levels degree

Step 2: HEC Stamp on last degree

Step3: Ministry of Foreign Affairs Stamp (MOFA)

Step 4: UAE Embassy Stamp form Pakistan
