Have you lost your FBISE degree, SSC certificate, HSSC certificate, or result card? Don’t worry. The Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) provides an official procedure for obtaining a duplicate certificate or degree if your original document has been lost, misplaced, damaged, or destroyed.
Many students require duplicate certificates when applying for higher education, scholarships, government jobs, private employment, or visa applications. Without the original educational documents, completing these processes can become difficult. Fortunately, FBISE has made the application process straightforward.
In this detailed guide, you will learn everything about the FBISE duplicate degree and duplicate certificate process, including the latest fee, required documents, challan generation, affidavit requirements, submission process, and important instructions.
Why You May Need a Duplicate FBISE Certificate
A duplicate certificate is issued when the original educational document is no longer available due to reasons such as:
- Loss of the original certificate
- Theft of educational documents
- Fire or natural disasters
- Accidental damage
- Documents becoming unreadable over time
- Misplacement during relocation
If your original FBISE certificate or degree is unavailable, you should apply for a duplicate copy as soon as possible to avoid problems during admissions or job verification.
