Key Takeaways for Mumaris Plus Registration
- Preparation is Everything: Gather all your required documents in the correct digital format *before* you start the application. This is the single most important tip.
- Accuracy is Non-Negotiable: Ensure every piece of information you enter—names, dates, license numbers—perfectly matches your official documents. Discrepancies are the primary cause of rejection.
- Understand the Workflow: Mumaris Plus is the SCFHS portal. DataFlow is the separate but integrated service that verifies your documents (PSV). You apply on Mumaris, which then triggers the DataFlow process.
- Follow Up Proactively: After submission, keep a close eye on your email and the Mumaris Plus dashboard for any notifications or requests for additional information.
- Be Patient: The entire process, including DataFlow verification, can take several weeks to a few months. Plan your timeline accordingly.
Phase 1: The Pre-Registration Checklist – Your Document Arsenal
Before you even navigate to the Mumaris Plus website, your first task is to prepare your “digital file.” Having all necessary documents scanned clearly and saved in the correct format (usually PDF) will save you hours of frustration. Even a small error here can lead to rejection. This is a crucial part of the Saudi Prometric exam journey from registration to results.
Essential Documents for All Applicants:
- Valid Passport: A clear, color scan of your passport’s information page. Ensure it is not expired and the name matches all other documents.
- Personal Photograph: A recent, professional, passport-style photograph with a white background.
- Basic Life Support (BLS) Certificate: A valid BLS certificate from an accredited provider (e.g., American Heart Association, Saudi Heart Association).
- Letter of Authorization: You will need to download, sign, and re-upload this form from the Mumaris portal, authorizing SCFHS and DataFlow to verify your information.
- Curriculum Vitae (CV): An updated CV detailing your education and work experience chronologically.
Profession-Specific Academic and Professional Documents:
- Educational Degrees/Diplomas: Scans of your original Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD certificates.
- Official Transcripts: Scans of your official academic transcripts for all relevant degrees.
- Professional License(s): A clear scan of your valid professional license from your home country or country of practice.
- Certificate of Good Standing (CGS): A certificate issued by the licensing authority in your home country, confirming you are in good standing with no disciplinary actions. This certificate usually has a validity period (e.g., 6 months), so time its issuance carefully.
- Work Experience Certificates: Official letters from all previous employers, detailing your job title, responsibilities, and dates of employment. These must be on official letterhead, signed, and stamped.
- Internship Certificate: A certificate confirming the completion of your mandatory internship year (especially critical for doctors and dentists).
Pro Tip: Create a dedicated folder on your computer. Name each scanned document clearly (e.g., “Passport.pdf”, “Bachelors_Degree.pdf”, “Experience_Letter_Hospital_X.pdf”). This organization will make the upload process smooth and error-free.
Phase 2: Step-by-Step Guide to Mumaris Plus Registration
With your documents prepared, you are ready to begin the online application. Navigate to the official Mumaris Plus portal to start.
Step 1: Create Your Account
On the Mumaris Plus homepage, click on “Register” or “Create an Account.” You will be prompted to enter your email address and create a password. You will also need to provide your nationality and ID/Iqama number. For international applicants, you will use your passport number. After submitting, you will receive a verification link in your email. Click this link to activate your account.
Step 2: Log In and Complete Your Profile
Once your account is activated, log in. The first task is to complete your personal profile. This is where accuracy is paramount. Enter your full name (in both Arabic and English, if applicable) exactly as it appears on your passport. Double-check your date of birth, passport number, and contact information. Any mismatch will cause problems later.
Step 3: Add Your Qualifications
Navigate to the “My Qualifications” section. Here you will add details for each of your academic degrees. You will need to input the name of the university, country, degree awarded, and graduation date. After entering the details for each qualification, you will be prompted to upload the corresponding scanned documents (degree certificate and transcripts).
Step 4: Add Your Professional Licenses
Go to the “My Licenses” section. Here you will add the details of your professional registration/license from your home country. You’ll need to enter the name of the licensing body, the license number, and the issue/expiry dates. You will then upload the scanned copy of your license certificate and your Certificate of Good Standing (CGS).
Step 5: Add Your Work Experience
In the “My Experience” section, you must add each of your previous employments chronologically, starting with the most recent. Enter the name of the hospital/clinic, your job title, and the start and end dates. Be meticulous with the dates to ensure there are no unexplained gaps in your employment history. You will then upload the corresponding experience certificate for each entry.
Step 6: Request a New Service – “Professional Classification”
Once your profile is complete with all qualifications, licenses, and experience, navigate to the “My Services” tab. Click on “Request a New Service.” The first and most important service you will apply for is “Professional Classification/Registration“. This service officially evaluates your profile to determine the professional title you are eligible for in Saudi Arabia (e.g., Nurse Specialist, General Practitioner, Pharmacist). This is the service that will ultimately grant you eligibility to sit for the Prometric exam.
Step 7: Review, Pay, and Submit
The system will prompt you to review all the information and documents you have submitted for this service request. This is your final chance to catch any errors. Go through every detail carefully. Once you are certain everything is correct, you will proceed to the payment gateway to pay the application and DataFlow verification fees with a credit card. After successful payment, you will officially submit your application.
Phase 3: The DataFlow (PSV) Process Explained
Submitting your Mumaris Plus application is not the end; it’s the beginning of the verification phase. Your file is electronically sent to the DataFlow Group for Primary Source Verification (PSV). This is often the longest part of the process. For a complete overview, read our dedicated guide on the SCFHS DataFlow process.
- What is PSV? DataFlow contacts your universities, previous employers, and licensing bodies directly to confirm that the documents you submitted are authentic.
- How long does it take? The process can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months, depending on how quickly your institutions respond to DataFlow’s requests.
- How to track progress? You will receive an email from DataFlow with a case number and a link to their portal where you can track the status of each document’s verification.
- “Unable to Verify” or “Discrepancy”: If DataFlow reports an issue, they will notify you. You may need to provide alternative contact information for your university or employer, or clarify a discrepancy. Respond to these requests immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Mumaris Plus & DataFlow
Mumaris Plus is the official online portal of the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS). It is where you manage your entire professional profile, apply for services like classification and registration, and track your license status. DataFlow is a third-party company contracted by SCFHS to perform Primary Source Verification (PSV), which is the process of verifying your documents. You apply on Mumaris, and Mumaris initiates the DataFlow process.
The most common reasons are: 1) Discrepancies between the information entered and the uploaded documents (e.g., slightly different name spellings, incorrect dates). 2) Unclear or poor-quality scans of documents. 3) Incomplete information, such as unexplained gaps in work history.
A CGS is typically valid for 6 months from the date of issue. You should submit your Mumaris application while the certificate is still valid. If it expires during a lengthy DataFlow process, the SCFHS may ask you to provide a new one, but it’s best to start with a valid certificate.
This usually means they could not get a response from the HR department of your previous employer. You should proactively contact that HR department yourself, provide them with your DataFlow case number, and ask them to respond to DataFlow’s verification request. You can then provide the updated contact person/email to DataFlow via their portal.
No. You must first have your professional classification completed and approved by the SCFHS through Mumaris Plus. Once your classification is approved, you will receive an eligibility number that you will use to register for the Saudi Prometric Exam on the Prometric website.
Once a service request is submitted and paid for, you cannot edit it yourself. If you notice a critical error, you must contact the SCFHS through their official support channels on the Mumaris Plus portal. They may return the application to you for correction, which can cause delays.
Fees are subject to change, but you should budget for several separate costs. This includes the Mumaris Plus application fee, the SCFHS membership fee, and the DataFlow PSV fee, which varies depending on the number of documents you need verified. Expect the initial process to cost several hundred US dollars.
Professional classification is the process where the SCFHS reviews your qualifications and experience to determine the professional title you will hold in Saudi Arabia. For example, a nurse with a Bachelor’s degree and sufficient experience will be classified as a “Nurse Specialist,” while a nurse with a diploma may be classified as a “Nurse Technician.” This classification determines your scope of practice and which Prometric exam you must take.
All documents must be submitted in either their original English language or with an official, certified Arabic translation. If your degrees or experience letters are in another language, you must have them translated by a certified translator and submit both the original and the translated copy.
Your primary source of official support is the Mumaris Plus portal itself, which has a ticketing system for queries. You can also contact the SCFHS through their national call center. For official regulations and guidelines, always refer to the SCFHS official website.
