Mumaris Plus is the unified digital platform developed by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) to manage all licensing, registration, and credentialing services for healthcare practitioners in Saudi Arabia. Every step—from document submission to exam scheduling and licence activation—must be completed through this portal.
This article is based on PrepMedico’s experience supporting hundreds of international healthcare professionals through SCFHS DataFlow, classification, and licensing processes, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and smooth navigation of regulatory requirements.
With Saudi Arabia’s healthcare sector expanding rapidly under Vision 2030, thousands of clinicians from across the world are using Mumaris Plus to gain entry into the Kingdom’s healthcare system. Knowing how to correctly register and maintain your profile is essential for avoiding delays and securing timely approval.
Mumaris Plus serves as the centralized SCFHS platform where practitioners can:
• Submit professional documents
• Complete DataFlow Primary Source Verification
• Apply for professional classification
• Register their licence after employment
• Renew or upgrade their professional status
• Request Good Standing Certificates
• Access exam services and results
• Track application status and SCFHS notifications
The portal eliminates paper-based processing and ensures a standardized regulatory pathway for both Saudi and foreign-trained professionals.
Mumaris Plus is not just an application portal—it is the core system that determines a clinician’s eligibility to practice in Saudi Arabia.
1. Centralized Licensing Management
All SCFHS processes, from DataFlow to classification and registration, happen within a single digital environment.
2. Transparent Tracking
Applicants receive updates, alerts, and action requests in real time.
3. Standardized Evaluation
SCFHS uses Mumaris Plus to ensure consistent licensing requirements across all regions.

5. Secure Document Storage
All documents remain in your profile and can be reused for renewals, upgrades, and future services.
The following steps provide a clear and structured path through the full registration process.
To begin, visit the SCFHS – Mumaris Plus portal.
You will be asked to:
• Enter your full legal name (as per passport)
• Provide nationality and date of birth
• Enter a valid email address
• Provide an active mobile number
• Create a password
• Verify your email via the activation link
Tip:
Name mismatches between documents and your profile are one of the top reasons for DataFlow delays—check spelling and formatting carefully.
Once the account is active, you must complete your profile with key documents:
Personal Identification
• Passport copy
• Passport-style photo
Academic Documents
• Medical, dental, nursing, or allied health degree
• Internship or foundation-year certificate
• Postgraduate diplomas or board certifications
Professional Licensure
• Home-country medical or professional licence
• Good Standing Certificate (issued within the last 6 months)
Employment History
• Experience certificates with dates, duties, signatures, and institutional stamps
Important guidelines:
• Upload colour scans, not photos
• Ensure translations are certified if documents are not in English/Arabic
• Dates and names must match across all documentation
SCFHS requires Primary Source Verification (PSV) through DataFlow before you can apply for classification.
Within Mumaris Plus you will:
• Submit your academic degree(s)
• Submit your professional licence(s)
• Upload employment certificates
• Pay DataFlow verification fees
• Track verification progress
DataFlow involves contacting universities, medical boards, and employers to verify authenticity.
Processing typically takes 6–10 weeks.
Common causes of delay:
• Non-responsive institutions
• Incorrect document details
• Mismatched names
• Low-quality scans
• Unclear employment periods
Once complete, your DataFlow report will be linked automatically to your Mumaris Plus account.
Professional Classification determines whether SCFHS recognises you as:
• General Practitioner
• Specialist
• Consultant
The classification decision is based on:
• Verified qualifications
• Verified clinical experience
• SCFHS criteria and regulations
• Exam requirements (if applicable)
During this step, you may be required to book and complete:
• A written exam (Prometric)
• An oral exam or structured interview
• Consultant-level clinical and decision-making assessment
Tip:
Ensure you upload only the documents required for your classification level—extra documents slow down evaluation.
Mumaris Plus allows you to:
• View exam eligibility
• Select exam centres and dates
• Download booking confirmations
• Receive results
Exam types vary by profession:
For Physicians and Dentists:
• Prometric/SMLE written exam
• Oral/clinical exam for specialist and consultant levels
For Nurses and Allied Health Professionals:
• Prometric written exam
For Consultant Applicants:
• Structured consultant interview conducted by SCFHS-appointed panel
Exam results automatically update in your Mumaris Plus account.
Once SCFHS approves your application, you will receive your official Professional Classification Certificate through the portal.
This certificate:
• Confirms your SCFHS-recognised level
• Allows employers to issue job offers
• Is required for visa processing
Professional Registration activates your licence to practice and usually occurs after receiving an employment contract.
Documentation required includes:
• Signed job offer or contract
• Medical fitness certificate
• Professional indemnity / insurance documentation
• Registration fee payment
Once approved, you will be issued an active SCFHS professional licence, allowing you to legally practice in Saudi Arabia.
Applicants frequently encounter avoidable obstacles. The most common include:
• Mismatched names across documents
• Old or expired Good Standing Certificates
• Blurry or incomplete document scans
• Missing dates or signatures on experience letters
• Incorrect translations
• Uploading unnecessary documents
• Not responding promptly to SCFHS requests
Being proactive and organised significantly reduces delays.
• Prepare your full document set before starting
• Use a consistent professional name and details
• Track application status and notifications daily
• Contact issuing institutions early for faster responses
• Submit certified translations when required
• Respond quickly to correction requests
• Keep copies of all receipts and communications
