Experience Letter Request
Ask a former employer to confirm past service and duties. Use employment verification for current status and a recommendation for an opinion about your work.
Revised October 11, 2026 · Fictional examples · English / Arabic
A drafting aid, not a verified record or guaranteed form. Check the facts, your authority, and the recipient’s requirements before sending.
Before you begin
- Check the start and end dates
- List the roles to be confirmed
- Ask how former employees request records. Do not write an employer-certified statement in your own name.
Ask for a record HR can prepare from existing information
- Identify your former role and the employment period you want confirmed. If a date is uncertain, ask HR to verify it from records rather than guessing.
- Explain the intended recipient or purpose so HR can check whether an experience letter, reference form, or employment verification is needed.
- List factual details requested by the recipient and the delivery instructions. Distinguish a record of duties and dates from a personal recommendation.
- Give a work-appropriate contact route and ask how to follow up. The output of this tool is your request, not a certificate issued by the former employer.

Questions about this template
Is this an experience certificate?
No. It is a request asking the employer to prepare or provide a record. An employer-issued experience letter must come from its authorized representative.
Can I use it for a former employer?
Yes. State the past role, relevant dates, and any employee or department reference that is appropriate to share. Ask the employer to check uncertain details.
How is this different from a recommendation?
An experience letter records service and possibly duties. A recommendation adds an informed opinion and examples from a person who observed the applicant’s work.
