Licensing in Saudi Arabia is acquired through the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS).

We complete the SCFHS licensing process for our candidates before relocation. If the process sounds overwhelming, rest assured that we handle all of the behind-the-scenes minutiae of the process. You just have to send us your many documents and we take it from there.

More significantly, we are unique in that we pay all the costs of licensing, visas, etc. Our candidates pay nothing.

Licensing is a four-step process, as follows:

Step 1: Dataflow

DataFlow is a third party company (based in Dubai) used by the SCFHS to verify your education, professional license (e.g., RN, MD), and employment documents. Dataflow usually verifies documents by calling the institution.

We collect and upload all required documents to Dataflow. We also pay the DataFlow application fee.

Once your DataFlow verification report has been issued, you can then proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Professional Classification and Licensing Exam:

MumarisPlus is the SCFHS online application system into which we (your recruitment company) enter all your documents (educational, passport, professional license, employment letters, etc.) The SCFHS will then review your application to determine your eligibility for licensing Saudi Arabia.

Nurses and Allied Health professionals who are deemed "eligible for licensing," will be issued an "Eligibility Number" which allows you to register for the Prometric or Pearson VUE licensing exam.

The fee for the nursing Prometric exam is US$289.

Note re Physicians: Physicians may be required to attend an online evaluation session, or may be passed without an evaluation.

Step 3: Professional Classification Certificate

Once you have passed the licensing exam, the SCFHS will complete a final review of your application. Once approved, you will be issued a Professional Classification Certificate.

Step 4: Professional Registration

When you arrive in Saudi Arabia you will receive the pocket license.

Note:

1) SCFHS Classification and Registration fees vary by an applicant's qualifications and profession.
2) Information is subject to change. Contact your recruiter and/or employer.
