Navigating the DataFlow Process

Before you can sit for a Prometric exam in the Gulf, you must complete Primary Source Verification (PSV) through the DataFlow Group. This process ensures that your educational and professional credentials are authentic.

What is Verified?

DataFlow contacts your university and previous employers directly to confirm:

  1. Your medical or nursing degree.
  2. Your professional license from your home country.
  3. Your work experience certificates.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Incomplete Documentation: Ensure all scans are clear and include both sides of a document if necessary.
  • Name Mismatches: If your name changed due to marriage, include your marriage certificate.
  • Delayed Payments: The verification process does not begin until the fee is paid.

The Timeline

Verification typically takes 20 to 45 working days. We recommend starting your DataFlow application at least 3 months before your planned exam date.
