Education documents · Checked October 9, 2026 against the official source

Once HEC issues your e-Attestation Certificate, a foreign employer, embassy or university can check it themselves on HEC's public Degree Attestation Verification page. They need only your CNIC or passport number and the HEC reference number, so there is no separate application to file with HEC.

Where to applyOnline on the HEC e-Services Degree Verification page; the verifier does not need an account to check an attestation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to apply separately for HEC degree verification for a job abroad?

No separate application is published by HEC. Your university's verification is part of the online attestation process, and the resulting e-Attestation can be checked by anyone on HEC's public verification page using your CNIC or passport number and HEC reference number.

What details will the employer see?

The verification page shows the application ID, your CNIC or passport number, the reference number, degree title, the name on the degree, the university, and who attested it. The verifier can print these details.

Who do I contact if the record does not appear?

HEC directs applicants to its FAQs and to lodge a ticket at onlinehelp.hec.gov.pk, or call the HEC UAN 111-119-432 or 0334-111-9432 for help with attestation records.
