Appeals must be submitted within 60 days of certificate issuance and only once per certificate.

Log in via Unified National Access (NAFATH)

For any certificate less than 60 days old, a “Submit Appeal” button will appear

The system displays the certificate details → select sector → enter reason and upload documents

How to print the classification certificate?

Message "The service is not working properly, please try again later" appears under the contract section of the credit classification request.
This appears if data retrieval from the Etimad platform fails. However, the user may continue the request, as filling in project details is optional.

What happens if ownership of the commercial registration is transferred and the user attempts to request a classification certificate, but the system shows "Already registered" and no certificate appears?
Ownership transfer is a legal change in the entity, thus a new certificate must be requested by opening a ticket to cancel the old certificate.

How does the credit rating process work?
The applicant accesses the classification certificate request service.

The system verifies the applicant's commercial registration.

On the credit rating request screen, the required fields appear as dropdown menus to simplify input.

What is the goal of automatic registration?
To create an integrated service that encourages unregistered contractors to apply and register in the classification system.

What is the purpose of the “Reactivation of Credit Rating Path” service?
This service aims to reactivate the regular path and allow the user to upload financial statements if not previously available.

How can users check their classification rating?
