SCE Membership Renewal Issue

Dears..

I would like your valuable advises :

1. My Iqama profession is "Computer Programmer"

2. I registered at SCE in Jan-2020 submitting my MCA (Master of Computer Applications, 3 year course and studied in a reputed engineering college under well known university) which had attestation from my Govt. (India) and Saudi Embassy.

3. I got a temporary registration of 1 year with SCE after remitting all required Fees and then Iqama renewed.

4. Two days back while checking to renew SCE membership, I am informed that my certificate is not acceptable !! and asked me to visit labour office to change my profession.

5. Upon asking more details the operator was not supportive instead repeated saying that I can't renew my SCE membership but need a change in profession to renew Iqama.

I am really confused that a MCA degree is not sufficient to hold a Computer Programmer profession in Iqama. I would really appreciate your guidance and support to solve this issue as my Iqama has to be renewed by Jan-2021.

NB: During 2011 SCE refused to register me as an Engineer as they needed 4 years degree and later changed profession to the present Computer Programmer.

you can submit your engineering degree,they will accept if it is verified.they verify all degrees from their respective country.
but if you have computer engineering degree they must be accept i am sure.

Dear All,

I faced the same issue and SCE asked me to go to Labor office and change your profession but later they asked me if you have any diploma which is relevant to your current profession ("Computer Programmer") then apply from portal.

Unfortunately I had a diploma in computer science which was not attested but I submitted it from the SCE web portal and after 2 days it was approved by SCE and I got SMS to submit my renewal fee which I submitted and it has renewed successfully.

good job bro

Recently MOL required Saudization in IT professions.
check your Company's Saudi ration in IT.

Ask your PR person to find out the reason, why SCE rejected.

best of luck to you.

Dear,

Last year i faced similar issue, my profession is "computer programmer". I went to SCE office and they did it manually but I submitted my four years of Software Engineering degree on online portal.

I was registered for two years so this year in Nov my iqama just renewed flawlessly without any hurdles.

You might need to visit and discuss.

Can any one tell how many time SCE take to varify documents, it's now 22 days my documents status is in progress, as my profession is technician but I have submitted 4 year BSc mechanical engineering degree attested by my home country council and MOFA

wahmed

In that case, you must visit SCE.

Brother amirshk,
My Diploma is also not attested & I complete it in 2004, l am worried that later on they will ask to attest it or they may declare it fake.
so as you have passed 4 moths with it,
please let me know if there is any issue with it.
thanks

Brother Zubair,

Don't worry about attestation I submitted my 2 years Diploma without attestation and they renewed my membership in 3 days and issued me an "Introduction letter" (Temporary Membership) and then after 4 month I received a message from SCE that my documents has been verified and now I got the Membership Certificate / شهادة .

Moreover, during these 4 months I received an email from Tadkeek on behalf of SCE to re-submit a good scan copy for verification of my diploma so I emailed them a HD copy of my diploma.

Actually Tadkeek is a private company who process the document verification on behalf  of SCE once its done you will get the permanent Membership and get a Professional Certificate .

If you have further queries feel free to private message me

Regards,

Amir

Thanks a lot brother Amir
may Allah bless you with everything you deserve.

Hi,
I am working in Saudi Arabia for the past 11 years and my profession is technician. I have registered in SCE with experience certificate from company and last 2 years i am renewing my SCE.

This year(2021) i heard SCE account cannot be renewed without diploma certificate. is that true? I have engineering course certificate from college without attestation. is that enough?

if not i heard they are calling for technical exam and we should pass the exam to renew iqama. is that true?

yshaik786

I did some bmlt course and got. It accepted by sce and paid registration and membership fee ayear ago now it shows my membership expired no mail regarding renewal so how do I renew when they just notify me it ie expired and when i want to renew it not able to renew it what's the rrason and how do i renew it if not better change profession coz of saudization and halting iqama renewal process!

amirshk

Call on their customer service no

Hi

A friend of mine got the membership by providing not attested certificate but got the  full membership (not a temporary membership) without any issues. And it's expiring in 3 months. 

Now when he apply for renewal what is the process?  Will they check the certificate or will they ask to provide the certificate again

if he got the SMS & Email for renwal login and to SCE web portal and apply for renewal nothing is required only pay the membership fee

rkla

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, he got the email / SMS.

Should he renew or 1 year or two?  Which is better

Better to renew it for atleast 2 years because SCE now a days frequently change the policies. I also renewed for two years.

keep in mind  if you change your job and change your sponsor or you go on final exit and come back to another job your membership will not expire till your expiry date.

So in my opinion better to renew for 2 years.

Guys, anyone has any update about my concern?

The need valid one year diploma with attestation.
And there will be some exams coming but they are not going to give SCE registration on the basis of that.
May be they changed this in the future.
But right now there is no such update.

samuelkevinfck

So the those who doesnt have certificate, they should attend technical exam to get qualified to continue work? Or without certificate there is no way to renew iqama?

That exam will take months to be held.
And there will be no guarantee that they will give SCE registration on the basis of that exam.
Right now, without certificate there is no other way.

What if i change my profession to Labor?
if my family is here in permanent visa then i cannot change profession to labor?
What are the other profession doesn't need certificate?
I heard marketing specialist or Project Manager professions does not need any certificate. is that true?

please advise.

Every profession which is higher than labor/helper needs diploma/degree.
And i don't know even jawazat would let you change your profession to labor.
And if you have family here then you cannot change your profession to labor at all.
If you want to you have to put final exit on your family visa before that.
