  2. Fill the PDF: Download the official Arzi_Form_v4.pdf. Do NOT alter the margins or font (OCR scanners reject altered formats).
  3. Rename the File: Strict naming convention: AAMILNAME_MISAALNUMBER_DATE.pdf (e.g., Doha_1234567_25122024.pdf).
  4. Submit via Official Channels:
    • Preferred: Upload via the secure Rasmiyah web interface.
    • Alternative: Email with the subject line ARZI – [Your Name] – [Misaal] to the designated zone email.
