Document Recovery & Correction Assistance in Pakistan
Lost a document? Found an error? Discovered your records don't match? We'll help you figure out exactly what to do next.
"Document recovery" covers a lot of different problems — and each one usually has a different fix, handled by a different authority. Rasmi helps you diagnose what's actually going on with your documents, identify who is responsible for fixing it, and prepare the paperwork needed to move forward — whether that's a duplicate degree, a corrected certificate, a name-mismatch resolution, or documents ready for attestation after a correction.
We are not a university, education board, NADRA, or any government or regulatory authority. We don't issue, alter, or officially correct documents ourselves. What we do is help you understand the right process, organize what you need, and coordinate the parts of it that are legitimately available to a facilitation service so you're not guessing or going back and forth on your own.
Having a Problem With Your Documents?
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place:
- Lost your degree, diploma, or certificate?
- Missing a transcript or marksheet?
- Need a duplicate of something you can no longer find?
- Is your name spelled differently across your CNIC, degree, and other records?
- Is your father's or husband's name inconsistent between documents?
- Does your date of birth differ from one document to another?
- Is a document damaged, torn, faded, or otherwise unreadable?
- Does your university or board record contain an error?
- Are your professional registration details incorrect?
- Do you need a corrected document ready before HEC, IBCC, or MOFA attestation?
- Not sure which office or authority you're even supposed to contact?
Which Authority Handles My Document?
Different documents are controlled by different authorities, and the body that can fix your problem isn't always the one you'd expect:
- University degree, transcript, provisional certificate: Your issuing university
- Matric/Intermediate certificate, marksheet: Your issuing Board (BISE/BTE), not HEC
- Attestation of degrees/transcripts for use abroad: HEC (Higher Education Commission)
- Attestation of Matric/Intermediate certificates: IBCC (Inter Boards Coordination Commission)
- CNIC name, father's/husband's name, date of birth: NADRA
- Nursing/midwifery/LHV registration records: PNMC
- Allied health professional registration records: AHPC
- International legalization / Apostille of attested documents: MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
The rule of thumb: the body that originally issued the document is almost always the one that has to fix or reissue it. HEC, IBCC, and MOFA generally attest and legalize documents — they don't create or correct the underlying record.

Understanding Document Mismatches
Not every mismatch needs the same fix — figuring out which kind you have is the real first step:
- CNIC vs. Degree: Spelling variations can cause issues during attestation. We help determine if a formal correction is required or if supporting identity paperwork will suffice.
- Passport vs. Degree: Resolving identity discrepancies between separate issuing authorities.
- Matric vs. University Records: Reconciling differences between Board and university records starting at the easiest source.
- Father's Name vs. Husband's Name: Common after marriage. HEC requires specific supporting paperwork (like a Nikkahnama or old CNIC) during attestation.
- Middle Names, Name Order, or Initials: Resolvable depending on the reviewing authority's specific guidelines.
Lost Degree? Here's the General Path
- Confirm what's actually missing (degree, transcript, or both).
- Contact your issuing university — they are the only body that can issue a duplicate.
- Prepare an affidavit confirming the loss (a standard requirement at university and HEC levels).
- Receive the duplicate (typically marked "Duplicate" on its face as standard practice).
- Proceed with verification and attestation via HEC once the duplicate is issued.
- Complete MOFA attestation or Apostille if the document is needed abroad.
Name Correction: What to Expect
- Minor Correction (Spelling errors, document alignment): Handled through affidavits and supporting evidence (CNIC, birth certificate, academic records) submitted to the relevant authority or NADRA.
- Major Correction (Substantial name change): May require formal legal processes, such as a court petition, before the authority can alter official records.
Overseas Document Recovery & Correction
Accuracy matters even more when a document is headed abroad. We help prepare and organize the entire sequence:
Correction/Duplicate at source → Verification → HEC / IBCC attestation → MOFA attestation or Apostille → Embassy legalization / Translation

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact your issuing university, since only they can issue a duplicate. You will typically need to
provide an affidavit confirming the loss. Rasmi can help you prepare for this process.
We help you understand your university’s duplicate-issuance process and prepare the required
documentation. The university itself issues the duplicate.
This depends on why the name is incorrect and which record is wrong. We help you identify whether the university, HEC, or another authority needs to be involved.
This is a common mismatch. Depending on the authority reviewing your documents, you may need a formal correction or supporting documentation proving both names belong to you. We help you work out which applies.

like a Nikkahnama or old CNIC when a father’s name is being updated to a husband’s name.
Requirements vary by authority and document type.
Date-of-birth corrections are genera ly handled by the authority that issued the document
containing the error — often NADRA for CNIC-related cases. We help you identify the right
process.
In most cases, a damaged document folows a similar process to a lost one — contact the
issuing authority for a duplicate. We can help you prepare for this.

you prepare and coordinate the documentation needed for the relevant authority to do so.

NADRA, or a professional regulator like PNMC or AHPC. We help you identify the right one.

relevant regulator’s replacement process.

PNMC Assistance page for more detail.

IBCC, or MOFA attestation as applicable.
