HEC Digitally Attests Over 139,000 Academic Documents

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has processed 73,146 degree attestation applications for 139,021 academic documents via its online platform since its inception on May 11, 2026. This paperless system enables graduates to receive digitally attested degrees without physically visiting HEC offices or submitting original documents, according to official records.

Through the online attestation process, applicants can access and download electronic certificates directly from their HEC accounts. Employers, educational institutions, and other interested parties can verify these certificates using the commission's official verification portal. The digital service aims to streamline the degree attestation process for graduates seeking credentials for work, further education, and other professional or administrative requirements.

By transitioning from traditional paperwork and physical document handling to online processing, the system diminishes the necessity for office visits and enhances access to attestation services. The HEC's handling of over 139,000 academic documents since the system's launch underscores the magnitude of the initiative as the commission seeks to transition towards paperless service delivery.
