Getting your educational documents verified can feel confusing. But don’t worry – this guide will explain everything in simple words. Board verification is the first important step you need to take before you can use your certificates for studying abroad, getting a job in another country, or applying for visas.
At Alrehaf International, we help hundreds of students and professionals every month get their documents verified quickly and correctly. We understand the process can be difficult, especially if you are doing it for the first time. That’s why we are here to make it easy for you.
What is Board Verification and Why Do You Need It?
Board verification means proving that your educational certificates are real and issued by genuine Pakistani educational boards. Think of it like getting a stamp of approval that says “yes, this certificate is authentic.”
Without board verification, your educational documents have no official value outside Pakistan. You cannot use them for university admissions abroad, job applications in Gulf countries, or embassy processes.
Who Needs Board Verification?
You need board verification if you are:
- A student applying to universities in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada, UK, USA, or other countries
- A professional looking for jobs in Gulf countries like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, or Bahrain
- Someone applying for work visa or employment visa abroad
- A person who needs family visa or dependent visa
- Anyone who wants to get their documents attested by MOFA or foreign embassies
Why Board Verification Comes First
You cannot skip board verification. It is the foundation of the entire attestation process. Here’s the order:
- Board Verification (first step)
- IBCC or HEC Attestation
- MOFA Attestation
- Embassy Attestation
Without completing step one, you cannot move to step two. This is why board verification is so important.
Understanding Educational Boards in Pakistan
Pakistan has many different educational boards. Each board is responsible for different cities and regions. Your certificate comes from one of these boards.
Provincial Boards (BISE)
BISE stands for Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education. There are many BISE boards across Pakistan:
- BISE Lahore (for Lahore district)
- BISE Faisalabad (for Faisalabad district)
- BISE Rawalpindi (for Rawalpindi and nearby areas)
- BISE Karachi (for Karachi)
- BISE Multan (for Multan region)
- BISE Gujranwala (for Gujranwala area)
- BISE Peshawar (for Peshawar and KPK)
- BISE Quetta (for Balochistan)
And many more boards across all provinces.
Federal Board (FBISE)
FBISE stands for Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education. This board is for students who studied in:
- Federal government schools
- Army schools
- Overseas Pakistani schools
- Some private schools registered with federal board
Technical Education Boards
If you have a diploma or technical certificate, it comes from a technical board like:
- Punjab Technical Education Board
- Sindh Technical Education Board
- Other provincial technical boards
Other Boards
Some students have certificates from specialized boards for commerce, medical, or religious education. Each type of certificate needs verification from its specific board.
At Alrehaf International, we handle verification from ALL boards across Pakistan. You don’t need to worry about which board your certificate comes from – we know exactly where to go.
Which Documents Need Board Verification?
Matric Certificate (SSC – Class 10)
Your matric certificate shows you completed 10th grade. This is one of the most important documents. Almost everyone needs matric verification for:
- University admissions
- Job applications abroad
- Visa processes
- Professional licensing
Intermediate Certificate (HSSC – Class 12)
Your intermediate certificate shows you completed 12th grade. This is needed for:
- Bachelor degree admissions abroad
- Technical job applications
- Professional courses
- Higher education opportunities
Diploma and Technical Certificates
If you completed vocational training or technical diploma, these certificates also need verification. Many people forget this step and face problems later.
Degree Certificates
While bachelor and master degrees go through HEC (Higher Education Commission), you still need your matric and intermediate verified first. Everything is connected.
How to Get Board Verification – Step by Step Process
Traditional Method (Going Yourself)
If you want to do it yourself, here are the steps:
Step 1: Get the application form from your board office Step 2: Fill the form carefully with correct information Step 3: Attach copies of your certificates Step 4: Pay the verification fee at the bank Step 5: Submit everything to the board office Step 6: Wait for processing Step 7: Collect verified documents
This sounds simple, but in reality it is very difficult. You may need to visit the board office multiple times. Sometimes officers ask for extra documents. Sometimes there are long queues. Many people waste weeks trying to do it themselves.
Online Board Verification
Some boards now have online systems where you can check the status or apply online. But the system is not available for all boards, and not everyone knows how to use it properly.

Processing Time – How Long Does it Take?
If You Do It Yourself

Common Problems People Face (And How We Solve Them)
Problem 1: Lost Certificates
Many people lose their original certificates. This is a big problem because boards need originals for verification.
Alrehaf International Solution: We help you get duplicate certificates from your board first, then we get them verified. We handle both processes together.
Problem 2: Name Spelling Mistakes
Your certificate says “Muhammad” but your passport says “Mohammed”. Or your father’s name is spelled differently. These small differences create big problems.
Alrehaf International Solution: We know exactly how to handle name variations. We prepare affidavits and supporting documents to show both names belong to same person.
Problem 3: Wrong Date of Birth
Sometimes the date on your certificate is different from your CNIC or passport. Boards may refuse verification.
Alrehaf International Solution: We guide you on getting correction certificates or we prepare legal declarations to explain the difference.
Problem 4: Board Office is Too Far
If you live in Karachi but your certificate is from Lahore Board, you need to travel or find someone in Lahore to help you.
Alrehaf International Solution: We have offices and partners across all major cities in Pakistan. You contact us from anywhere, we handle it everywhere.
Problem 5: Don’t Understand the Process
Many people feel confused about what documents they need, which office to visit, how much to pay, and what happens next.
Alrehaf International Solution: We explain everything in simple language. We guide you step by step. You never feel confused or lost.

Online Board Verification Systems in Pakistan
FBISE Online Verification
Federal Board has an online system where people can verify certificates using roll number and year. This is helpful for:
- Employers checking if a certificate is genuine
- Students checking their own record
- Quick verification reference
But remember: online checking is different from official verification. For attestation purposes, you still need the official verified stamp from the board.
Provincial Board Online Systems
Some provincial boards also have online portals. However:
- Not all boards have online systems
- The systems are not always working
- You still need physical verification for most purposes
Alrehaf International keeps track of all online and offline systems. We use whichever method is fastest and most reliable for your specific case.
