China Embassy Attestation
China Attestation from Pakistan for scholarships and employment
China accepts the MOFA apostille for Pakistani documents, which is faster than the old embassy legalisation route. CSC scholarships remain the biggest driver of attestation demand from Pakistani students. We handle HEC, the apostille, and any translation.
Why China uses the apostille route
China accepts the Hague Apostille for Pakistani documents, so the apostille route applies. Pakistani documents for China follow HEC or NADRA verification, then MOFA apostille. This is a simpler and faster path than the old embassy legalisation route. Chinese scholarship programmes such as CSC remain the biggest driver of attestation demand from Pakistani students.
The China document path from Pakistan
HEC or NADRA attestation
HEC or NADRA attestation
The Higher Education Commission attests degrees and NADRA issues civil documents. China reads both once apostilled.
MOFA apostille
MOFA apostille
MOFA applies the Hague apostille. China joined the Convention in November 2023, so Pakistani documents now clear for the mainland through apostille rather than the older embassy legalisation route.
