SCFHS (Saudi Commission for Health Specialties) is the licensing authority in Saudi Arabia.
The official portal is Mumaris+.
Most applicants follow this flow:
- Professional Classification (can be done from outside Saudi)
- Exam / evaluation (if required)
- Professional Registration (practice inside Saudi; usually linked to legal residency)
✅ Registration validity is commonly 2 years (renewal needs CPD).
2) Required Documents (Quick Checklist)
Keep all files clear, color-scanned, and correctly named.
- Passport + recent photo
- Degree/Diploma certificate + transcript/mark sheets
- Internship / clinical training certificate (if applicable)
- Home-country professional license/registration + Good Standing / verification letter (as applicable)
- Experience certificate (as required for your title)
- Updated CV
- Secondary/Higher Secondary certificates (if requested)
- Logbook (for surgeons / surgical specialties)
Note: Requirements can change based on Saudi vs non-Saudi and your profession/category.
3) Important 2026 Updates You Must Know

4) Mumaris+ Step-by-Step (Short & Clear)
Step 1: Create Mumaris+ Account
- Sign up → verify email/OTP → complete profile
✅ Your name must match passport/ID (very important for exam day too).
Step 2: DataFlow / PSV (Education + License)
SCFHS focuses strongly on Primary Source Verification (PSV)—commonly called DataFlow.
✅ Usually education + license are verified first.
Step 3: Experience Upload (Important Tip)
In Mumaris+, you must upload experience. In many cases, SCFHS may not ask PSV for experience if your letter is perfect—but it can be requested case-by-case. Recently asking experience data flow reports.
Make your experience letter “SCFHS-ready”:
- Exact dates (start–end) + total duration
- Correct title/designation + department/unit
- HR signature + HR seal/stamp
- Facility letterhead
- Official email + phone number
- Short job description/duties (recommended)
Step 4: Submit Professional Classification
Apply for Professional Classification first.
If your qualification is not listed, you may need a Qualification Study before classification.
5) Exam Booking (Pearson VUE / Prometric)
✅ You don’t book exams randomly first. Usually:
SCFHS eligibility → then Pearson VUE login/authorization → then booking
Payment note (Pakistan & Lebanon): online card payment may not work; booking may require cash at test center (or use a voucher if available).
Reschedule: commonly allowed up to 2 days before the exam (check rules during booking).
6) After Passing: Registration → Job → QVP/Visa → Saudi → Iqama → Final Activation
After passing the exam/evaluation:
- Proceed for Professional Registration (linked to legal residency)
- Get job offer (private hospitals/medical groups + agencies are common)
- QVP (Qualification Verification Process) for visa (video link: add here)
- Embassy attestation (if employer requires)
- Travel with work visa (often employer-sponsored)
- Employer arranges Iqama
- Update Mumaris+ profile as required → final license activation
7) Renewal (CPD/CME)
To renew SCFHS registration, you must complete CPD/CME hours.
(Example guidance often shown: technicians/nurses 20, specialists 40, doctors 60 — verify your category in Mumaris+.)
