Your updates will not immediately appear on the Shajra website. Instead, they are sent to power users for initial review. Once the required number of feedback is collected, the update is forwarded to the Verification Department for final approval. The Verification Department checks the information against a comprehensive database of pedigree charts before approving or rejecting it.
This process can take up to six days. If approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email and your update will appear on the Shajra website. If rejected, you’ll be asked via email to provide additional documentation.
Note: If the email lands in your junk folder, mark the Shajra.info domain as “Not Junk.” The approval mechanism ensures the accuracy and authenticity of the records.
