Prometric Registration 2026 – Account & Eligibility Setup for Every Gulf Authority
“Prometric registration” actually happens in two places: your licensing authority’s own portal (Mumaris Plus, Sheryan, QCHP, OMSB, NHRA, or Kuwait MOH) and Prometric.com itself. This guide walks through creating your Prometric account, getting your eligibility number, booking your exam date and center, paying the fee, and rescheduling if you need to — for SCFHS, DHA, DOH, MOH UAE, QCHP, OMSB, NHRA, and Kuwait MOH candidates.
Official vs general guidance:registration order, required documents, and the eligibility-before-booking rule reflect how Prometric and Gulf regulators generally operate. Exact fees, attempt limits, and reschedule deadlines change by authority and country — always confirm current figures on Prometric.com and your regulator’s own portal before paying or booking.
How Prometric registration works, step by step
1) Create your regulator portal account first
Prometric administers the exam, but you cannot book directly without clearing your licensing authority’s own portal — Mumaris Plus for SCFHS, Sheryan for DHA/DOH/MOH UAE, the QCHP applicant portal for Qatar, or the equivalent OMSB, NHRA, or Kuwait MOH e-service.
2) Submit your application documents
Upload your passport copy, a white-background passport photo, medical degree or diploma, internship or experience certificates, a certificate of good standing, and your current license copy through the regulator portal.
3) Complete DataFlow Primary Source Verification (PSV)
Most authorities require an independent DataFlow verification of your degree, license, and experience before they will issue exam eligibility. Processing commonly takes several weeks to a few months depending on your institutions and case, so start it as early as possible.
4) Receive your eligibility number or eligibility letter
Once your regulator approves your file and DataFlow report, you get an eligibility ID (SCFHS) or eligibility letter (DHA Sheryan, QCHP). You need this before Prometric will let you book — OMSB is a notable exception and does not require one to schedule.
5) Create your Prometric account and select your sponsor
On prometric.com, register an account, then select the correct test sponsor for your exam — for example “Saudi Commission for Health Specialties” for SCFHS candidates — and enter your eligibility number where required.
6) Book your exam center, date, and time
Choose an available test center and time slot in your country or region. Centers and open dates vary by location and season, so check multiple nearby cities if your first choice is full.
7) Pay the exam fee and save your confirmation
Complete payment directly through Prometric. Save the confirmation email and admit letter — you will need matching photo ID at the test center on exam day.
Prometric registration by Gulf authority
Every Gulf authority routes candidates to Prometric for the actual exam, but the portal that issues your eligibility number is different for each one. Use your specific authority’s registration page for exact portal steps.

- Medical degree, diploma, or professional qualification certificate
- Internship completion certificate and experience/employment letters
- Certificate of Good Standing from your current or most recent licensing council

Prometric exam fees, payment, and center booking
Exam fee and payment
The Prometric exam fee is paid separately from regulator application and DataFlow charges, and it varies by professional category, exam type, and country. Prometric generally accepts major debit and credit cards online. Confirm the exact current fee on Prometric.com or your regulator portal before booking, since amounts are updated periodically.
Exam centers and dates
Available Prometric test centers and open time slots differ by country and change frequently. Check more than one nearby city if your preferred center or date is fully booked, and confirm your center address on your official confirmation before travel.
Rescheduling and cancellations: most Prometric and regulator policies allow free or low-cost changes when made well ahead of the exam date, while changes made close to the appointment often carry a fee or forfeit the payment entirely.
Missing your appointment without an approved reschedule is generally treated as a no-show. Always check the exact deadline and fee on your confirmation email and your regulator’s official policy before assuming a change is free.
Country-specific Prometric registration notes
Saudi Arabia (SCFHS)
Registration runs through the Mumaris Plus portal. Prometric booking opens only after Mumaris Plus issues your eligibility number, and regulator-side fees are billed separately from the Prometric exam fee itself.
UAE (DHA, DOH, MOH)
DHA (Dubai), DOH (Abu Dhabi), and MOH/MOHAP (other emirates) are separate regulators that all use the Sheryan platform. Each issues its own eligibility letter before Prometric booking opens for that authority.
Qatar (QCHP)
Registration goes through the QCHP applicant portal, with DataFlow verification and QCHP approval required before an eligibility letter is issued for Prometric booking.
Oman (OMSB), Bahrain (NHRA) & Kuwait MOH
OMSB candidates can often schedule their Prometric exam without an eligibility ID first, unlike most other Gulf authorities. NHRA and Kuwait MOH generally follow the standard DataFlow-then-eligibility model before Prometric booking.
Registration mistakes that delay Prometric booking
Name spelling differs between passport, degree, and regulator portal profile.
Trying to book on Prometric before the eligibility number or letter is issued.
Starting DataFlow verification late, which pushes back the entire timeline.
Choosing the wrong test sponsor when creating the Prometric account.
Not checking multiple nearby centers when the first choice has no open slots.
Rescheduling too close to the exam date and losing the fee.
Prometric Registration — FAQs
What is the difference between DataFlow, my regulator portal, and Prometric?
DataFlow verifies your degrees, license, and work experience directly with the issuing institutions. Your regulator portal (Mumaris Plus, Sheryan, QCHP, OMSB, NHRA, or Kuwait MOH) reviews your application and issues eligibility. Prometric is the separate testing vendor where you actually create an account and book your exam date and center once eligibility is confirmed.
How do I create a Prometric account?
Go to prometric.com, choose the registration or sign-up option, and create an account using your name exactly as it appears on your passport. You will then select your test sponsor (your licensing authority) and, where required, enter your eligibility number to proceed to booking.
Do I need an eligibility number to register on Prometric?
For most Gulf authorities — SCFHS, DHA, DOH, MOH UAE, QCHP, NHRA, and Kuwait MOH — yes, you need an eligibility number or eligibility letter from your regulator before Prometric will let you book. OMSB (Oman) is a notable exception, where candidates can often schedule without one.
What documents do I need before Prometric registration?
You typically need your passport, a white-background passport photo, a completed application form and updated CV, medical degree or diploma, internship or experience certificates, a certificate of good standing, and a completed DataFlow verification report with your regulator-issued eligibility number. Some authorities also ask for a national ID or residency ID copy, so check your specific portal’s checklist.
How much does the Prometric exam cost?
The Prometric exam fee itself commonly falls in a broad range depending on your professional category and licensing authority, and it is paid separately from regulator application or DataFlow fees. Because exact amounts change and vary by country, always confirm the current fee directly on Prometric.com or your regulator portal before paying.
What payment methods does Prometric accept?
Prometric generally accepts major debit and credit cards for online exam fee payment. Some regulator-side fees (application, DataFlow, or licensing charges) may be collected separately through your national portal in local currency.
How long does it take to get my eligibility letter after DataFlow?
Timelines vary by authority and case complexity, but DataFlow verification commonly takes several weeks, and regulator review of the completed report can add further time. Start the DataFlow process as early as possible so you are not delaying Prometric booking.
How do I choose my exam center and date on Prometric?
After logging in and selecting your test sponsor, Prometric shows available centers and open time slots for your region. Availability changes frequently, so check multiple nearby cities and be flexible on dates if your preferred center is fully booked.
Can I take the exam in a different Gulf country than where I applied?
This depends on your regulator’s rules and which Prometric centers are enabled for your specific sponsor. Some candidates test in a different country than where they intend to work, but you should confirm this is accepted by your specific authority before booking.
How do I reschedule or cancel my Prometric exam appointment?
You can typically reschedule or cancel through your Prometric account or by contacting Prometric customer service, using your confirmation or reference number. Do this as early as possible — most reschedule and cancellation policies penalize changes made close to the exam date.
Is there a fee for rescheduling or cancelling my exam?
Prometric and regulator reschedule policies generally allow free or low-cost changes if made well in advance, while changes made close to the exam date often carry a fee or forfeit the payment entirely. Exact windows and charges vary by sponsor, so check your confirmation email and the official policy before assuming a change is free.
What happens if I miss my Prometric exam appointment?
A missed appointment without an approved reschedule is generally treated as a no-show, which usually means losing the exam fee and needing to register and pay again for a new date, subject to your regulator’s attempt rules.
How many attempts does Prometric allow if I fail?
Prometric itself does not set attempt limits — your licensing authority does. Maximum attempts, required waiting periods between attempts, and any extra requirements after repeated failures differ by regulator, so check your specific authority’s policy.
What should I bring to the Prometric test center on exam day?
Bring the same government-issued photo ID (usually your passport) used during registration, along with your exam confirmation or admit letter. Arrive early, since most centers require check-in and security screening before the exam start time.
