About MOFA Attestation

If you want to use your official documents — like education certificates, marriage papers, or business documents — outside Pakistan, you’ll likely need to get them attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Pakistan. This attestation makes sure your documents are recognized and accepted by foreign governments and organizations.

What Is MOFA Attestation?

MOFA attestation means the Ministry of Foreign Affairs checks your documents to confirm they’re real and have already been verified by the right Pakistani authorities. This makes your documents valid for use in other countries.

Why Is MOFA Attestation Important?

Before foreign embassies or government offices accept your documents for visas, work permits, or immigration, they usually want to see MOFA’s stamp. It’s a key step to make your documents official internationally.

  1. First, get your documents attested by the local authorities like educational boards, NADRA, or courts.
  2. Then, submit these documents to MOFA for their attestation.
  3. MOFA will verify and stamp your documents.
  4. After that, if the country you’re going to requires it, you’ll get embassy attestation next.
