Making a Complaint

Making a Complaint

The NDRC government values feedback from citizens and provides a structured complaints process for issues with government services.

What you can complain about

  • Incorrect processing of a service request
  • Unreasonable delays beyond published processing times
  • Technical faults with government systems that affected your compliance
  • Errors in your records (CARL-ID, CarlCare, UtiliTrack)
  • Conduct of government employees during service delivery
  • Accessibility barriers preventing you from accessing services

What you cannot complain about

  • Government policy decisions (these are made by the Supreme Leader and are not subject to complaint)
  • CDI score methodology (the formula is set by the Ministry of Labor)
  • Security classification decisions (these are made by the Ministry of Security and are final)
  • Chargeability targets (these are national standards)
  • Content filtering decisions by the Citizen Proxy
  • Outcomes of loyalty verification assessments

Complaints process

  1. Stage 1 - Departmental Resolution (10 working days): Submit your complaint through the relevant department. A case officer will review and respond within 10 working days
  2. Stage 2 - Departmental Review (20 working days): If unsatisfied with the Stage 1 response, request a departmental review. A senior officer not involved in the original decision will review your case
  3. Stage 3 - State Compliance Tribunal (60 working days): If the departmental review is unsatisfactory, you may escalate to the State Compliance Tribunal. The Tribunal's decision is final and binding

Important notes

  • All complaints are logged against your CARL-ID. Frequent complaints without merit may be flagged as vexatious and could affect your compliance record
  • Complaints about security matters are not processed through this system and will be redirected to the Ministry of Security
  • Complaints must be factual and respectful. Defamatory or threatening language will result in the complaint being rejected and may trigger a compliance investigation
