  "account": "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) launched an online document attestation system on October 12, 2026, enabling Pakistanis to verify various types of documents such as educational, personal, legal, and commercial records without visiting government offices in most cases. The portal, accessible through MOFA's headquarters in Islamabad and liaison offices in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, and Gujrat, facilitates the submission of documents, verification, payment, and electronic receipt of attestation certificates.\n\nTo apply for MOFA document attestation online, applicants must first create an account using their CNIC number and active email address. After registration, users can select the desired attestation service—general document attestation or apostille certification—depending on the requirements of the foreign authority, university, employer, or organization. Required documents must be uploaded in digital format, along with any supporting verification records. For certain documents, such as university degrees or matriculation certificates, additional verification may be needed from specific authorities like the Higher Education Commission (HEC) or the Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC). Once the application and documents are submitted, applicants can track their status via the portal and receive the electronic attestation certificate at their registered email address.",
