What is the process to re-upload documents in the Saudi Council of Engineers portal?
You must log into your SCE account, select the rejected application, and re-upload corrected documents under the “Missing or Rejected Documents” section.
The Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE) uses a strict verification system. If documents are rejected due to incorrect formats, expired dates, or missing translations, you need to follow this standard re-upload process.
Why are documents usually rejected in SCE?
Most document rejections occur due to:
- Incorrect file format (SCE only accepts PDF, JPG)
- Missing translations (non-Arabic documents need certified Arabic translation)
- Low-quality scans
- Expired documents (ID, license, etc.)
- Name mismatches (across documents and SCE account)
đź“Ś Tip: Always check file size (under 5MB) and scan clarity.
