Introduction
As a global recognition authority, NBR processes thousands of certificate and award dispatches every year. During this process, accuracy of personal details—especially the delivery address—plays a critical role.
However, in some cases, achievers may need to request an address change after certificate approval due to relocation, data entry errors, or logistical issues. This guide clearly explains the process, limitations, and best practices for submitting an address change request after your certificate has already been approved.
Understanding the policy and procedure helps ensure smooth delivery and avoids unnecessary delays or mis-delivery of your physical certificate.
Once your application is approved, it enters the production and dispatch pipeline. The possibility of changing your address depends on the stage of processing:
The certificate is still in the pre-printing stage.
Dispatch has not yet been initiated.
No courier tracking number has been generated.
The certificate has already been printed.
The parcel is handed over to the courier.
A tracking/consignment number has already been issued.
In such cases, re-dispatch may involve additional cost and time.
If you need to update your delivery address after approval, follow the correct process:
Send an official request to NBR via email / WhatsApp / support portal.
Mention your Full Name and Entry Number / Application ID.
Clearly write your old address and the new updated address.
Attach proof if required (like ID or address proof).
Request confirmation in writing after update.
A clear and complete address change request increases the chance of successful modification.
Before raising your request, keep these points in mind:
Address changes are not guaranteed after approval due to production timelines.
Delay in requesting can lead to dispatch to the old address.
For international deliveries, late changes may result in customs or courier complications.
Incorrect or incomplete new addresses may further delay delivery.
Always notify NBR as early as possible after noticing the error.
Address change requests usually occur due to:
Relocation to a new city or country
Typographical error in application submission
Change in residence or institution address
Address correction for better delivery accuracy
Courier service restrictions in the original area
Providing the correct reason helps speed up verification and approval of your request.
To avoid address-related complications, follow these best practices:
Double-check your address before submitting your application.
Include complete details: house number, street, area, city, state, postcode, and country.
Provide a nearby landmark if applicable.
Keep your phone number active for courier delivery contact.
Inform NBR immediately if you foresee a shift before dispatch starts.
Requesting an address change after certificate approval is possible only within a limited processing window. While NBR strives to accommodate such requests, timing is crucial.
By submitting your address update early, clearly, and with valid details, you improve the chances of smooth delivery without delays or errors. Your achievement deserves to reach you perfectly — make sure your address leads it home correctly.
