DataFlow Primary Source
Verification —
GCC Medical License
DataFlow PSV is a mandatory step for UAE medical licensing and required across most other GCC countries. A single error delays your application by months. We manage the full process so you don’t have to.
What Is DataFlow Verification?
DataFlow Group is the primary source verification provider used by UAE health authorities and other GCC licensing bodies to independently confirm that your credentials are genuine.
DataFlow is a primary source verification (PSV) company used by UAE (DHA, DOH, MOH) and other GCC health authorities to verify your educational degrees, professional experience, and credentials directly with the issuing institutions — your university, medical council, and past employers.
When you apply for a medical license, the licensing authority engages DataFlow to contact each institution independently and cross-reference their records against the documents you’ve submitted. This process confirms that your degrees, transcripts, registration, and experience letters are authentic — not just copies you’ve provided yourself.
DataFlow is mandatory for UAE (DHA, DOH, and MOH). Saudi Arabia uses its own verification process through the SCFHS Mumaris+ portal. Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait each have their own specific verification processes. We advise you on the exact requirements based on your target country and profession.
The DataFlow report is issued directly to the licensing authority and forms a critical part of your application. Without a complete, passed DataFlow report, your license application cannot proceed to the next stage.

3–7 days after completionCommon Reasons DataFlow
Gets Rejected
A DataFlow failure can result from incorrect documents, delays from institutions, or discrepancies. We review your documents in advance to catch issues before submission and assist with appeals if needed.
Different spellings of your name across passport, degree, and employer records trigger an automatic DataFlow flag and rejection.
DataFlow has strict file format, size, and resolution standards. Rejected uploads reset processing and add weeks to your timeline.
Universities or medical councils that fail to respond to DataFlow leave your application stalled indefinitely with no automatic resolution.
Documents with missing attestation steps — MOFA, embassy, or notarisation — are rejected outright by DataFlow with no partial credit.
Submitting DataFlow for the wrong licensing authority or profession type causes a mismatch that the target authority cannot accept.
Dates, grades, or positions that differ between your submitted documents and what institutions hold on file cause DataFlow flags.
