Documents Checklist for Teaching Jobs in Sindh (Application to Joining)
Many good candidates in Sindh lose teaching jobs not because of the test, but because of paperwork: an expired CNIC, a domicile from the wrong district, a name spelled differently on two certificates. This checklist is built from the actual documents asked for in recent official Sindh teacher advertisements and offer letters, so you can get everything ready before the next opportunity.
Quick summary
- At the application stage, recent STS portals asked for a photo, CNIC, domicile, PRC (Form D) and academic certificates.
- At the offer letter stage, the department asked for attested copies, written consent within 15 days, medical fitness and police verification.
- Overseas and many private jobs also need HEC degree attestation.
- Your name and details must match on every document.

Stage 1: Online application
For the 2021 PST/JEST round and the 2025 Early Childhood Teacher round, candidates applied on the STS portal and uploaded scanned documents. Here is the combined list from those official advertisements:
| Document | Notes |
|---|---|
| Recent passport-size photograph | Blue or white background was specified in 2021 |
| CNIC (front and back) | Must be valid; use your original mobile number in the form |
| Domicile | Of the relevant Sindh district |
| PRC (Form D) | Permanent Residence Certificate |
| Matric certificate | Used for date of birth and age |
| Degree certificate and mark sheets | Completed degree; appearance certificates were not accepted in the ECT round |
| For married women | Updated CNIC, husband’s PRC and registered Nikah Nama (ECT round) |
⚠️ Important: Scan documents in colour, make sure every corner is visible, and check file size limits on the portal before the last day. Many candidates miss deadlines because uploads fail at the last minute.
Stage 2: After selection
The Sindh School Education Department’s offer order format for PST and JEST lists what you must do after you are selected:
- Send written consent within 15 days of receiving the letter, or the offer can be cancelled.
- Submit attested copies of CNIC, domicile and PRC (Form D).
- Provide two recent passport-size photographs.
- Get a medical fitness certificate from an authorised medical board or officer.
- Clear police verification of character and antecedents.
💡 Tip: Keep at least 5 attested photocopies of each key document ready. You will need them at several stages, and attesting in a rush wastes days.
Domicile and PRC explained
Sindh government teaching posts are tied to districts, and in 2021 to Union Council vacancies. That is why your domicile (which shows your district) and PRC / Form D (proof of permanent residence in Sindh) are so important. If you moved districts, or your domicile was made long ago from a different district, sort this out early at your district office, because it can take time.
Degree attestation (HEC and IBCC)
Government jobs in Sindh usually ask for attested photocopies. But if you plan to apply abroad, or a private employer asks for it, you will need formal attestation:
| Document | Attested by | How |
|---|---|---|
| University degree and transcripts | Higher Education Commission (HEC) | Online application, initial scrutiny, then submission by courier or walk-in as instructed |
| Matric and Intermediate certificates | IBCC | After your board verifies the certificate |
HEC says names and details must match across your academic documents and CNIC or passport, and it will not attest documents with overwriting or erasures. A June 2026 guide reports HEC attestation at about PKR 3,000 per document and 10–15 working days; always check the current fee on HEC’s site.
Common mistakes that cause rejection
- Name spelling differs between Matric certificate, degree and CNIC.
- Expired CNIC at the time of applying or joining.
- Wrong district domicile for the post applied.
- Uploading an appearance certificate when a completed degree is required.
- Missing the 15-day consent deadline after an offer.
- Using a mobile number you later lose, so you miss SMS updates.
🚫 Never hand your original documents to an “agent” who promises to process your job. Keep originals with you and only show them at official verification.
