However, in the official FAQs of SCE it states that “You can only delete your account if you’re newly registered and haven’t paid any fees“.

Anyways, one of my friends used the method I’m mentioning below to delete the Saudi Council of Engineers account after he paid fees and the profile was pretty old enough.

1. Contact your employer

Request them to write a letter formally requesting your SCE account deactivation. 

Be sure to include your full name, Iqama number, and account details in the letter.

2. Chamber of Commerce Attestation

This verifies its authenticity and ensures its validity with the SCE.

They will process your request and deactivate your account within a specified timeframe.

Once your account is deleted, you can register again with the SCE after a waiting period of 10-15 days.

How to update Jawazat and verify Yaqeen in Saudi Council of Engineers?

Ah, the dreaded red cross on the SCE platform – it can be enough to send shivers down any engineer’s spine.

Especially when it comes with the taunting question: “Is Jawazat updated? Is Yaqeen verified?”.

Worry not, fellow engineers, for this I will illuminate the path to turning those red crosses into glorious green ticks!

Why this happens?

Firstly, let’s address the issue of why it happens?

Yaqeen and Jawazat verification are two sides of the same coin.

If your Jawazat information doesn’t match your SCE membership, the Yaqeen and Jawazat verification will remain incomplete, leaving you with that red cross.

For example, imagine you’re a technician with an engineer’s qualifications.

You apply for the engineer membership in the SCE, but your Iqama profession still lists you as a technician.

This mismatch between your membership and Iqama profession is the culprit behind the red cross!

How to Fix?

So, how do we turn this frown upside down? You have options:

Iqama Profession Change

Change your Iqama profession to match your desired SCE membership.

Membership Change

Adapt your SCE membership to match your current Iqama profession.

You can always upgrade later once your Iqama reflects your desired profession.

Jawazat Update Option

If all else fails, the SCE platform offers a “Jawazat Update” option with a 100 SAR fee.

This directly updates your Jawazat information in the SCE system, potentially resolving the issue with Jawazat and Yaqeen and you can finally see the Green tick which indicates your Jawazat is updated and Yaqeen is verified.

FAQs

Do I need to register even if I’m not actively working in my profession? 

Yes, registration is mandatory for renewal regardless of your current employment status.

What happens if I don’t register?

Failure to register might lead to delays or even rejection of your Iqama renewal.

Can I register with the Saudi Council of Engineers if my profession isn’t on the list?

Unfortunately, registration is only open for professions explicitly listed by the Saudi Council of Engineers.

Can I register online if I’m outside Saudi Arabia?

Yes, as long as you have a valid Iqama and can access the Saudi Council of Engineers website, you can register remotely.

How can I contact Saudi Council of Engineers?

You can contact them using the contact details available on their Website.

The message “We are auditing your request” appears. How many days would it typically take to be approved or denied?

The “We are auditing your request” message specifically indicates your request is undergoing additional scrutiny. This could extend the processing time further, depending on the complexity of your case.

My degree is an MBA in different profession. Can I thus register with my MBA as a Computer Technician?

Unfortunately, an MBA degree in other professions alone does not qualify you to register as a Computer Technician with the Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE). The SCE requires specific technical diplomas or certificates for technician registration, and an MBA falls outside this category.

The Final Words

Remember, registration with the Saudi Council of Engineers is just the first step towards a rewarding engineering career in Saudi Arabia.

Also Remember, this registration opens doors not just for Iqama renewal but also for career advancement and professional recognition within Saudi Arabia.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the Saudi Council of Engineers’ resources, workshops, and networking opportunities to continuously upskill yourself and connect with fellow professionals.

So, fellow expats, Embrace the challenges, contribute to the kingdom’s development, and watch your career flourish in this dynamic land of opportunity.
