What Can Delay Your Wafid Processing?

  • Public holidays: Medical centers may be closed during national holidays.
  • Incomplete paperwork: Missing or incorrect documents can delay processing.
  • Additional tests: Some applicants may need follow-up tests, which adds time.
  • High volume: Peak seasons (before Ramadan, summer vacations) may slow things down.
  • Technical issues: Wafid.com server outages can cause delays.
⚠️ Important: If you don't receive your results within 5 working days, contact your medical center directly. They can check the status of your report.
