Dataflow Verification
β DataFlow Verification β Explained for Study Prometric Students
DataFlow is the official verification system required by all Gulf healthcare councils before you can appear in your Prometric exam or activate your license. Whether youβre applying for UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, or Bahrain, your first mandatory step is always the same:
π Get your credentials verified through DataFlow (PSV β Primary Source Verification).
At Study Prometric, we guide you through this process so you can avoid delays, rejections, and unnecessary resubmissions.
π Why DataFlow Is Required
Every Gulf country wants to ensure your documents are:
Real
Issued by an authorized institution
Match the identity on your passport
Valid for practice in healthcare
DataFlow checks all this directly from the original source, not from your photocopies.
This keeps the system safe β and it ensures qualified professionals reach the Gulf smoothly.
π Documents DataFlow Verifies for Healthcare Professionals
DataFlow reviews most key documents, including:
Education
Degree (MBBS, BSN, BDS, PharmD, Diploma, Allied Health)
Transcript or Marksheet
Internship completion certificate
Licensing
Professional license from your home country
Good Standing Certificate (recent β usually under 6 months old)
Experience
Employment/Experience letters
Post-internship experience verification
HR contact details
Identity
Passport
Passport-size photo
CV (for some authorities)
Study Prometric recommends scanning all documents clearly and keeping files under safe, organized storage.
π How the DataFlow Verification Works
Here is the exact process your file follows behind the scenes:
- Submission
You upload all documents to the DataFlow portal (or through DHA, DOH, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA, or Oman MoH portal β depending on the country).
- Contacting Original Issuers
DataFlow reaches out to:
Your university
Home country licensing body
Hospital HR department
Nursing council / medical council
They confirm whether your documents actually match their official records.
- Verification & Cross-Checking
DataFlow compares:
Dates
Registration numbers
Stamps and signatures
Names and spellings
Document serial numbers
- Final PSV Report
You receive a verified report, and a copy is sent to the Gulf authority.
This report is required before:
DHA Eligibility
DOH (Abu Dhabi) Exam
SCFHS (Saudi) Classification
QCHP Qatar Evaluation
NHRA Bahrain Registration
Oman MoH Licensing
Kuwait MoH Licensing

π You Can Transfer Your DataFlow Report to Other Gulf Countries
This is one of the biggest advantages for our students:
If you verified your documents for one Gulf country, you can transfer the same report to another.
Example:
DHA β DOH β MOH UAE
SCFHS β Qatar β Bahrain
Oman β Kuwait
And many cross-country transfers
Usually costs 100 β200 AED only.
Study Prometric guides you on when and how to transfer so you donβt waste money on new verifications.

Blurry or incomplete scans
