Prometric slots booked with your Eligibility ID

Booking is unlocked by: Eligibility ID

How SCFHS exam dates work

SCFHS issues an Eligibility ID once classification and primary source verification clear, and the Prometric exam is booked from there, with the whole file managed in Mumaris+. The date is the slot you book, not a fixed national sitting.

Centres include Riyadh, Jeddah, your home country or Dubai. Our data shows Riyadh slots filling 2 to 3 months out, so book as early as you can once the Eligibility ID is live.

Slot availability changes daily and differs by centre. Confirm current dates in your Prometric account and the SCFHS portal before you plan travel or resign from a post. Last reviewed .

How to book the SCFHS exam

  1. 1

    Register on Mumaris+

    Create your professional profile on Mumaris+, SCFHS's unified system, and upload your documents. It is fully online.

  2. 2

    Clear classification and Dataflow

    SCFHS classifies you as GP, Specialist or Consultant while Dataflow verifies your documents. Both must clear.

  3. 3

    Receive your Eligibility ID

    Typically issued 3 to 7 working days after classification and verification clear.

  4. 4

    Book through the Prometric SCFHS portal

    Create an account on the Prometric website, select your authority's exam, pick a test centre and a date from the slots on offer, and pay the exam fee online. Riyadh slots fill 2 to 3 months out; centres in your home country or Dubai may be easier to get.

  5. 5

    Sit the exam

    Bring the passport you used at booking and your appointment confirmation, and arrive 30 minutes early. Personal items go into a locker. The result is instant, and your Mumaris+ registration usually updates within days.
