What to Do If a Document Request Stays Open or In Progress

Some document requests take longer because they depend on manual handling or third-party response times. A request remaining Open or In Progress for a time does not always mean it has been ignored.
A sensible response #
- Check that the request type and subject details were entered correctly.
- Review whether the request depends on an institution, external party, or manual process.
- Keep your internal reference and any request identifiers ready.
- Contact support if the delay appears unusual or if you need a progress update.
Tip: Support can often assist faster when you provide the request context clearly rather than saying only that it is delayed.
