Verification of License from Saudi Arabia

[Edz86]

Hi everyone! I am currently waiting for my CES (Credentials Evaluation Service) report from CGFNS so I can go ahead and apply for licensure here in Tx. CGFNS already received all the requirements except this VOL (Verification of License) from Saudi Arabia. Last March 29,2015, when I called SCFHS (Saudi Commission for Health Specialties) I was informed that they no longer process the VOL due to the large number of organizations outside KSA requesting them to fill up this forms. And that the Certificate of Good Standing which they currently issue via their website is valid and enough to verify the license. They also emailed me the announcement letter that says so. I called CGFNS the next day and informed them about it, I was told they are not aware of this matter and that they're going to investigate and see why SCFHS had stopped this process. So I waited, after a week I called them again and they responded that they are already aware of this problem and that they have people working on this matter and communicating with SCFHS. Until now they still tell me the same.

I stressed out the Certificate of Good Standing which CGFNS said they accept but it has to come directly from SCFHS. The problem now is when I called SCFHS, I was told that it is an automated process and that I have to register in their website, provide a valid email where they can send the certificate after payment. And that it is their only way to provide me the certificate as they don't and never send this certificates via a post mail. Now Im getting really sad about all this and don't know what to do next. Is anyone here in the same dilemma I'm in? I need help...

Hi chu08!

we have the same problem here with the saudi council. have you settled yours?

I am really sad about the way Saudi Council is handling such responsibility. Tsk Tsk. In my case the forms that I sent them for verification were stuck for almost two months now. I tried to call the toll number posted on their website but most of the time nobody is picking up the phone. Edz86 can you please send in my email the announcement letter by the SCFHS? Your help will be very valuable for the success of my application. My email is [email protected]/ [email protected]. Thank you in advance edz!!! :)

Sent the announcement to those who requested but I am not sure if it still is valid. I've heard that they're starting to fill out forms now. I'm not really sure. Can anybody confirm?

Hi Edz86, I'm currently having the same difficulty with the NMC. I have the certificate of good standing but they want verifocation of license.

Can you forward on that announcement letter to me on [email protected] or anyone that Ed sent this onto.

This is extremely frustrating!!!

How did this fair out for you in the end?

regards, Emma

They no longer issue that announcement/memo because they are now back to processing the verification forms. You have to send or go personally to their office and they will fill out the forms for you. Mine took 1 week. They asked me to leave the forms to them and just come back after 1 week. When i went there again it was not filled up but i told them that i will wait for the documents to be finished within the day as i needed to send it asap. Luckily the supervisor there would be comin after lunch so he was able to accomplish it in time.
