Verification of License from Saudi Arabia

Published

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... :cry:

Good day, Which branch of scfhs did you do in? I got my GSC, How to pay for VOL? Thank you.

Thanks Miss Canadarn123 for your advice.

I'm living here in UAE and as told, I asked my friend from Saudi to run an errand for me that was just few days ago, tuesday July 18, 2017. She went to SCFHS and ask for the person responsible for the Verification of license. The personel didn't ask her to come back another time, she asked for the Vol Form and Good standtanding certificate including my ID license which was expired already-sept.2016. It doesn't matter. She filled out the form and stamped it, when done she gave it back to my friend in an envelope, sealed. That was it. My friend went outside to send the documents. Story finished. I tracked my documents received by Mr. **** of CGFNS.

GSC - 300SAR

VOL - 300SAR

Courier - 372SAR

Hi. I am also currently on my application for the CRNBC. Could someone also send me copy of the official announcement from the Saudi Council. My email is [email protected]

I need to attach that document as justification for CRNBC. Thank you very much!

Hi guys! I went few days at NCFM to have my saudi council Professional Accreditation Certificate translated. I'm a Nurse Technician. However they translated it NURSE SPECIALIST TECHNICIAN. I 'd like to ask if you had the same problem?

hello can you send me the new policy announcement letter regarding the verification of license request from Saudi Commission for Health Specialties pls? My email address is [email protected] thank you!

Sorry I did not received it . As I am too trying to find someone.If you have anyone at Kingdom I think it is good to visit SCHS directly.

Hi to everyone. I am currently working in Saudi Arabia. I am also under process of NNAS assessment.

I applied to SCFHS and got my forms processed through them. So please don't search for these circulars anymore. I think they are not valid. NNAS knows this.

My Experience in getting the forms:

1.I went to Makkah SCFHS, small regional office. They Turned my request down.

2.Went to the biggest branch in nearby city of Jeddah. Enquired there.

3.I printed out my NNAS VOL form.

4.Printed out a Good Standing Certificate via SCFHS portal. 300 Saudi Riyals SADDAD Payment.

5.Made a copy of my SCFHS license Card in Colour.

6.Signed the forms and paid a fee of 300 Saudi riyals to the IBAN(International Bank Account Number) they gave me.

7.Submitted everything to the concerned person with the receipt of payment.

She was kind enough to fill everything and gave it back to me in 2 hours in a sealed envelope. I posted it directly to NNAS through courier. Courier fees 250 Saudi Riyals.

Thank you

Hello everyone, the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties are still doing the Verification of License, I asked a family member to go to Saudi Commission for Health Specialties in Dammam, they paid 150SAR and they gave them the form (you have to sign the form) from NNAS. The payment includes mailing directly to NNAS.

You need to provide a copy of your Saudi license, and copy of good standing certificate if you have it (if not maybe you need to request for it too, not very sure about this)

I think they are asking if you took the Prometric exam, I am not sure if that will matter if you did not take it. In my case I mentioned that I was exempted during that time when I was in Saudi Arabia because I worked at a national guard hospital. Good luck with your verification, just letting you know that Saudi Commission is still working on this.

Hi Mohamed100, BSN

What specific certificate are you referring to here? Is it the license certificate from MOH? And which place did you go? SCFHS Dammam? Or Riyadh?

There is a certificate called good standing certificate.

Request a certificate of good standing

Try to obtain it as it is compulsory requirement to fill out your VOL.

I mentioned in my post I went to Jeddah SCFHS.

Hope it helps you.
