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.

Is it possible to send me also the announcement email sent to you by SCFHS because I'm also having trouble with my verification of Saudi license.

My email is [email protected]

If it is possible send it to me as soon as possible.

Thank you so much and sorry for being bossy. I'm just really disappointed with this matter.

Hi cdarroles13,

My license is expired already? will they still process it? If i will ask my friend to send my documents personally to saudi council will they ask for any authorization letter? Any idea,..please.

Thank you,

Ical

Yes they will process even if it is expired, I processed for a friend for her NZ registration..i didn't have any authorization letter, but that was last year though. Just try to make one to be sure.

Hi cdarroles13. Im in Riyadh, right now. Do I need to deposit 150SR to NCB or I can just go straight to Saudi Council office and pay there? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

u can pay in saudi council 1st floor office using ur atm only

Hi guys! I need help for this one. For those who have previously worked in Saudi Arabia. Because I have received a feedback from NMC regarding the Translation of my Saudi Certificate. It says "The English translation of your Saudi Registration Certificate contains two different dates for registration (7.12.13 and 8.12.13). We require a new translation which gives the correct registration date". these two dates can be seen in my certificate Dec 7 is the one in the upper right hand corner of the cert near the logo while the latter is my registration date Dec 8 which is in the lower left corner of the page. I don't know how to go about with this one. does anyone here knows what is the date on the upper part of the page for?

Hi everyone!

I am currently applying for the CES with CGFNS.

Does anyone know if the Saudi Certificate needs to be translated before sending it to SCFHS? Since the CGFNS requires the Certificates attached to be in original language (which is Arabic) and a certified english translation. Thanks in advance.

yes you need a translation so they can mail the certificate directly to cgfns..but submit only the photocopy of translation
