IBCC Equivalence Certificate
IBCC Equivalence Certificate
The Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) issues equivalence certificates that standardize the various Pakistani secondary education systems into a single recognized format. Whether you completed Matric and Intermediate from a Pakistani board, or O-Levels and A-Levels from Cambridge or Edexcel in Pakistan, the IBCC equivalence certificate translates your results into a universally accepted grading standard.
UAE employers, universities, and licensing bodies frequently require IBCC equivalence certificates alongside attested secondary school documents. This is particularly common for healthcare workers, teachers, and technical professionals whose job requirements reference specific secondary education standards.
GreenAttest manages the complete IBCC process, from application preparation through collection and onward attestation. We verify your board results, prepare the application correctly, and ensure the equivalence certificate is issued without errors that could cause problems downstream.
Documents Required
- Original Matric/O-Level certificate and detailed marks sheet
- Original Intermediate/A-Level certificate and detailed marks sheet
- CNIC copy of the certificate holder
- Passport copy
- Board verification stamp on the original certificates (some boards require this)
- Two passport-size photographs
Special Requirements

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Apply for IBCC equivalence before you need it. The certificate is valid indefinitely once issued, so getting it done in advance removes a bottleneck from your UAE employment or visa process.
- If you completed A-Levels, gather all your individual subject result slips in addition to the certificate. IBCC requires detailed subject-wise marks to calculate the equivalence accurately.
- Check that your board examination roll number and personal details match your CNIC exactly. IBCC cross-references both records, and mismatches trigger verification delays.
