Delays Are Preventable

Whether you're applying for a new job in the GCC, or recognition, one of the most critical steps is document verification. At QuadraBay, we verify everything from university degrees and work experience letters to professional licenses and certifications — and in our experience, many delays are preventable.

In this blog, we break down the most frequent applicant mistakes that cause verification delays — and what you can do to avoid them.

Submitting Incomplete or Inaccurate Academic Documents

Submitting Incomplete or Inaccurate Academic Documents 


Common issues:


  • Submitting an unclear copy of the original certificate along with its official translation (if not in English).
  • Missing the Transcript of Records (TOR) not provided for all years, depending on the client’s requirements.
  • Letter of Authorization (LOA) not signed and dated correctly (must be the application date, not the applicant’s date of birth).
  • Blurry or unclear passport copy.

Tip:


Always include both the original and an official English translation, and ensure all pages are clear and complete. If your degree is from a university that issues transcripts and certificates separately, upload both.


Inaccurate or Inconsistent Work Experience Details

Inaccurate or Inconsistent Work Experience Details


Common issues:


  • Position titles that don’t match HR records
  • Incorrect employment dates (even by a few days)
  • Submitting a personal reference letter instead of an official HR-issued document
  • Lack of clear start and end dates on the experience certificate

Tip:


Use the official HR or employer-issued work experience letter, ideally on company letterhead with a stamp and contact details. Double-check dates and job titles to ensure they match the details of your work experience. your employer will confirm during verification.


Outdated or Invalid Professional Licenses

Outdated or Invalid Professional Licenses


Common issues:


  • Submitting invalid,expired or provisional licenses
  • Uploading scanned copies of license cards instead of official PDFs or letters
  • Missing license authority details (like issuing body or registration number)

Tip:


Make sure the license is current, legible, and issued by a recognized authority. If it has expired, some regulators still accept it for verification — but this varies. Include all pages, and ensure your name, license number, and issuing authority are visible.


Ignoring Follow-Up Emails or Requests

  • Missing deadlines related to document resubmission
