Before you can work as a nurse in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) needs to classify you and verify your credentials — and everything runs through one portal: Mumaris Plus. The good news for Filipino nurses is that the whole pathway, including the Prometric exam, can be completed from the Philippines. Here is the process in order, as of 2026.
The SCFHS pathway, step by step
Create your Mumaris Plus account
Register on the SCFHS Mumaris Plus portal with your passport details and a valid email. Use your name exactly as it appears on your passport — this matters later.
Apply for professional classification
Submit your BSN diploma, transcript, PRC license and experience certificates. SCFHS reviews these to classify you (typically as a Nursing Technician or Specialist, depending on qualifications and experience).
Complete DataFlow verification (PSV)
DataFlow contacts your school, PRC and past employers directly to confirm your documents are genuine. This is usually the longest stage — commonly several weeks to a few months.
Receive your eligibility number
Once classification and verification clear, SCFHS issues an eligibility number. You need this to book your exam — keep it safe.
Book and sit the Prometric exam
Book through Prometric using your eligibility number. Filipino candidates can typically test at Prometric centers in Manila, Cebu or Davao — no need to fly abroad.
Typical costs and who pays
| Item | Typical cost (2026) | Who pays via Medijobs |
|---|---|---|
| DataFlow verification | ~USD 350–500 (varies by documents) | Employer |
| Prometric exam fee | ~USD 90–100 | Employer |
| Document copies, PRC certs, notarization | Minor local fees | Candidate |
Figures vary by case and can change, so treat these as guides — but the principle holds: Medijobs candidates don’t pay DataFlow or Prometric fees. Employers hiring through us cover them.
Where candidates get stuck
Realistically, allow around 2–4 months from Mumaris Plus signup to a passed exam if your documents are clean. Start DataFlow early — it runs in the background while you review.
