A critical step in your journey to becoming a registered nurse in Saudi Arabia is Primary Source Verification (PSV) through the DataFlow Group. This process ensures that all your credentials—educational qualifications, work experience, and nursing license—are authentic and meet the requirements of the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS).

Why is DataFlow Verification Important?

The DataFlow Group conducts Primary Source Verification (PSV) to ensure your educational, professional, and licensing credentials are authentic. It is mandatory for registering with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Account Creation

Begin by visiting the DataFlow website. Create an account using your email address and mobile number.

Step 2: Log In

Log in with the account you created. Enter your email address, click "Continue," and input the OTP received via email to validate your login.

Step 3: Select Licensing Authority

Choose Saudi Arabia and the SCFHS as your licensing authority. Select your profession: Nurse.

Step 4: Upload Passport

Upload a clear and valid copy of your passport. The system will automatically extract your details—ensure everything is correct.

Step 5: Provide Employer Details

If you have a job offer, select your future employer. If not, continue without choosing one.

Step 6: Nursing Experience

For first-time applicants, select "New" as your application type. Provide details of your nursing experience (a minimum of two years is required).

Step 7: Select a Package

For nurses, the 800 SAR package covers verification of your education, work experience, and license. Globridge offers free assistance, saving you the additional 150 SAR service fee charged by DataFlow.

Step 8: Document Upload

Education: Upload your degree certificate, confirm details (course name, completion date, and mode of study), and ensure the name matches your passport. If there’s a discrepancy, upload name change documents.
Work Experience: Upload experience certificates, including employer details, job title, and employment dates. Add supporting documents if needed.
Nursing License: Upload your license issued by your nursing council. Provide details such as the registered title, license number, and type (part-time or lifetime).

Step 9: Additional Fees and Verification

Some universities or councils may request extra fees for verification. Pay these promptly to avoid delays.
