CORU Rejected Documents – Why It Happens & How to Avoid It
One of the most common issues we see at Evenhanded is clients coming to us after CORU has rejected their documents — either during the qualification recognition process or the registration stage.
If this has happened to you, don’t panic. You’re not alone. Many applicants face this issue, especially those applying from outside Ireland.
In this article, we’ll explain:
- Why CORU rejects documents
- The most common mistakes to avoid
- What to do if your documents were rejected
- How Evenhanded can help you fix the problem
Why Does CORU Reject Documents?
CORU has strict requirements to ensure all professionals meet Irish standards of education, ethics, and safety. That means your documents must be:
- Clear
- Complete
- Correctly formatted
Even small errors or missing information can result in a rejection or a request for clarification.
Reasons CORU Rejects Documents
1. Unclear or Unofficial Transcripts
CORU requires official transcripts from your university
Generic mark sheets or summaries from your college website are not accepted.
2. Missing or Vague Course Syllabus
One of the most common reasons for rejection is a lack of detailed course syllabus. CORU needs to compare your course with Irish standards.
If you only submit a general outline, they may reject it or delay the application.
3. Incorrect Notarisation or Verification
Documents must often be:
Certified ,Properly stamped and signed
Photocopies, screenshots, or uncertified files are not accepted.
4. Invalid or Expired English Test Scores
For non-native English speakers, CORU requires proof of English proficiency. Many applicants are rejected for:
Submitting expired IELTS/OET results
Using unapproved tests
Not meeting the minimum score
What Happens If CORU Rejects Your Documents?
If CORU finds issues in your documents, they will usually:
- Email you with a clarification request, or
- Send a rejection notice, outlining what’s missing
- In both cases, your application is paused until the required documents are corrected and re-submitted.
