The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) provides an official document verification service for SSC (Matric) and HSSC (Intermediate) certificates, degrees, and result cards.
There are two official methods available for verification:

- Verification through postal service (usually used by departments and organizations)
In this detailed guide, we explain both methods step by step so that students can easily complete the verification process without confusion.

Methods of FBISE Verification
FBISE offers two official methods for verification:
1. Personal Verification (Recommended for Individual Students)
This method is suitable when a student personally wants to verify his or her:
- SSC Result Card
- SSC Certificate
- HSSC Result Card
- HSSC Certificate
- Degree or other educational documents issued by FBISE
The student visits the FBISE office and completes the verification process personally.
2. Verification Through Post
This method is mostly used by:
- Government departments
- Universities
- Colleges
- Employers
- Public Service Commissions
- Foreign organizations
- Other educational institutions
Usually, these organizations send verification requests directly to FBISE through official correspondence along with the required documents.
Individual students may also send documents through post if they cannot visit the FBISE office personally.
Step-by-Step Process for Personal Verification
If you want to verify your own FBISE documents, follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Visit FBISE Headquarters
Visit the FBISE office during official working hours.
Carry:
- Original Result Card or Certificate
- CNIC or B-Form
- Roll Number
- Registration Number (if available)
Step 2: Visit the Verification Section
Go to the document verification counter or the designated verification office.
The staff will guide you regarding the required verification.
Step 3: Generate Verification Challan
Inside the FBISE office, dedicated computer systems are available for applicants.
Using these systems:
- Enter your Roll Number
- Select the document you want to verify
- Generate the verification challan
The system will automatically calculate the applicable verification fee.
Step 4: Deposit Fee at HBL Branch
After printing the challan:
Visit the HBL branch located inside or near the FBISE premises.
Deposit the required verification fee.
The bank will:
- Receive the payment
- Stamp the challan
- Mention the Challan Number
Keep the paid challan safely because it will be required in the next step.
Step 5: Enter Challan Number
Return to the FBISE verification system.
Now enter:
- Roll Number
- Challan Number
The system verifies that the payment has been successfully received.
Step 6: Print Verified Document
Once payment is confirmed, the system allows printing of the verified document.
The verified print usually contains official verification details indicating that the document has been authenticated by FBISE.
Students should carefully check all information before leaving the office.
