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...

thank you

hi

they told they are doing this verification procedure. we have to send the forms along with our good standing certificate, registration certificate and the receipt of the payment[ 150 SR] done in their NCB account. but i am presently in canada and the bank is asking for their banks branch address and swift code which i am not able to find out. when i called the customer service number they were so rude and told everything can be found in their website. but i didnt get anything. anyway hope for the best. if anybody know this swift code and branch address kindly message it.

thank you

This is really frustrating. Saudi council is still not consistent with their protocols. Is it ok to send this documents thru LBC or fedex and you just need to make a wire transfer? Sis asha ann, how did you know that they are now doing the cerification of license and the registration form you need to submit, is it photocopy or they need the original?

hi Rusan

i called them and they told they will do, but how and what to do they just informed its in the website which i couldnt find anything and they given me the account number to which 150 sr has to be transferred, that also after much plead. anyway i found out the procedures by reading different posts in this site.thanks everyone who have given the informations which has become very helpful.

first we have to acquire good standing certificate which can be done through e portal in scfhs website

next transfer money into scfhs account in any of the branches of ncb bank

account number is 20159007001306

iban number is SA1210000020159007001306

but outside Kingdom we have to do wire transfer where i am stuck up, bcoz the bank in canada asks for bank branch address and swift code

then with this money transferred receipt[ a copy has to be kept for future purpose], our saudi council registration certificate copy, good standing certificate, a request letter and nnas verification forms have to be send by courrier[ any reliable international one] to scfhs address.

Communications Dep't

SAudi Council for Health Specialties

Diplomatic Quarter,Riyadh,KSA

Tel No: 011966114179900[ for international calls]

tracking number has to be noted and call scfhs customer care number[inside Kingdom a toll free number has given in the website] once it reaches there.

they will ask for the tracking number and your registration number.

this is a matter of patience and a number of calls. i have just started only, i will post my experience after completing this.

Thank you asha ann for the very informative reply. It really helps a lot, by the way if you will do wire transfer in the country where you are. They will ask what is 150sr for?
