A no objection certificate is a short document with a high failure rate. A licensing authority, a bank, a landlord, a school or an immigration counter asks for written consent from someone else, and the letter comes back rejected because it was addressed to the wrong party, signed by someone without authority, missing a licence number, or written in English where Arabic was required. The content is rarely the problem. The form is. We write the letter to the requirement of the party who has to accept it, on the right letterhead, from the right signatory, with the identifiers that party matches against, and in Arabic where Arabic is what will be read.
