Quick Answer: What Should I Do If My WAFID Slip Has Wrong Information?
If you find incorrect information on your WAFID medical slip, contact the medical centre and ask them to submit the appropriate change request.
WAFID states that corrections can be requested for information such as:
- Passport number
- Name
- Nationality
- Profession
- Date of birth
- Visa number and date
- Passport expiry date
- Passport issue date
- Passport issue place
The official WAFID FAQ states that the applicant should ask the medical centre to submit either a “Change candidate details” or “Change medical exam request.”
1. What Information Can Be Wrong on a WAFID Slip?
A WAFID appointment slip contains important candidate and appointment information. Errors can occur when information is entered during the booking process.
Examples include:
- Passport number
- Name
- Nationality
- Profession
- Date of birth
- Visa number and date
- Passport expiry date
- Passport issue date
- Passport issue place
These details should be checked carefully before proceeding with your medical examination.
WAFID itself instructs applicants to double-check the information and dates entered during the appointment process before submitting the application.
What to bring
If you notice an error, keep the relevant documents and information ready.
- WAFID medical slip
- Original passport
- Passport copy
- Visa information, where applicable
- Correct personal information
- Payment/appointment details
- Screenshot of the incorrect information
- Any supporting document required for the correction
Having the correct information available can make it easier to explain the error to the medical centre.
2. What Should I Do If My Passport Number Is Wrong on My WAFID Slip?
If your passport number is incorrect, contact the assigned medical centre and request a correction before proceeding further with the medical examination.
WAFID specifically lists passport number among the candidate details that can be corrected through its change-request process.
Do not simply assume that the mistake will automatically be corrected later.
What Should I Tell the Medical Centre?
Explain that the passport number on your WAFID record does not match your passport.
Keep both:
Incorrect information: The information currently appearing on the WAFID record.
Correct information: The information exactly as shown on your passport.
The medical centre can then advise you on the applicable change request.
3. What If My Name Is Wrong on My WAFID Slip?
If your name is incorrect, contact the assigned medical centre and request the appropriate correction.
WAFID specifically includes name among the candidate information that can be corrected.
When checking your name, compare it carefully with your passport.
Pay attention to:
- First name
- Last name
- Spelling
- Missing letters
- Extra letters
- Name order
Using the exact information from your passport can help avoid unnecessary problems during the medical examination process.
4. What If My Nationality or Date of Birth Is Wrong?
Nationality and date of birth are also among the details covered by the WAFID correction process.
If either detail is incorrect:
- Check the information against your passport.
- Keep your WAFID slip available.
- Contact the assigned medical centre.
- Explain exactly which information is incorrect.
- Request the appropriate change request.
- Ask for the change-request number and submission date.
WAFID states that applicants should ask the medical centre for the change request number and submission date after the request has been submitted.
5. How Do I Correct Wrong Passport Details on WAFID?
The official WAFID process is straightforward.
Step 1: Check the Error
Compare the WAFID information with your original passport and identify exactly what is incorrect.
Step 2: Contact the Medical Centre
Contact the medical centre assigned to your appointment.
Step 3: Request the Correction
Ask the medical centre to submit the appropriate request:
- Change candidate details, or
- Change medical exam request
The appropriate request depends on the nature of the correction.
Step 4: Keep the Request Number
Ask the medical centre for:
- Change request number
- Submission date
Keep these details for your records.
Step 5: Confirm the Correction
Once the correction has been processed, check that the information is accurate before continuing with the medical examination process.
6. Do I Have to Pay to Correct Wrong WAFID Information?
According to the current WAFID FAQ, the change request is free of charge. Applicants should not pay a fee for submitting the correction request.
This is important because applicants may assume that correcting information automatically requires another booking or additional payment.
If you are asked to pay a fee specifically for the WAFID change request, verify the reason and process with the relevant medical centre or WAFID support before making any payment.
7. Can I Correct the Information Myself Online?
The official WAFID FAQ directs applicants with incorrect information to contact the medical centre and request that the medical centre submit the appropriate change request.
Therefore, do not assume that every error can simply be edited from your online appointment account.
The medical centre is involved in the official correction process.
8. What If I Notice the Error After Reaching the Medical Centre?
If you notice an incorrect detail after reaching the medical centre, inform the medical centre staff immediately.
Do not hide or ignore the error.
Show them:
- Your original passport
- WAFID medical slip
- Supporting documents, if applicable
- The incorrect information
- The correct information
The medical centre can explain whether a change request is required and what you should do next.
9. What If I Entered the Wrong Visa Information?
WAFID specifically includes visa number and visa date among the information that can be corrected through the change-request process.
If your visa information is incorrect:
- Compare it with your visa documentation.
- Identify the incorrect field.
- Contact the assigned medical centre.
- Request the appropriate change request.
- Ask for the change request number and submission date.
Do not enter new information based on memory when your official visa document is available.
