SCFHS Registration in Saudi Arabia

Planning to Work in Saudi Arabia?

Healthcare professionals intending to work in Saudi Arabia must complete the required professional classification and registration with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS).

The process can vary according to your profession, qualifications, experience and country of training. Dr Expat will assess your profile, explain the correct route and support you throughout each stage of the application.

Understanding Classification and Registration

Professional Classification determines the professional category, title and specialty for which you may be recognised in Saudi Arabia. This stage can generally be started while you are living outside the Kingdom.

Professional Registration follows classification and allows an approved healthcare professional to practise in Saudi Arabia once the relevant residency and employment requirements have been met.

Yes. Professional Classification can generally be started from outside Saudi Arabia before you secure employment. Professional Registration normally follows once the applicable residency and employment requirements are in place.
Classification is the process through which SCFHS assesses your qualifications, training and experience to determine your recognised professional category, title and specialty.
Documents issued outside Saudi Arabia commonly require verification through an authentication provider approved by SCFHS. The exact requirements depend on your profession and application.
Some applicants are required to complete a professional assessment or examination. This depends on the qualification, profession and classification being requested.
SCFHS registration applies across Saudi Arabia, but you must also meet your employer’s requirements and any other conditions governing your employment and clinical practice.
