Dataflow Verification
(PSV) Service
Navigate the mandatory Primary Source Verification process with confidence. We prepare your documents, submit your application, and track verification progress across all GCC health authorities.
Understanding Primary Source Verification
Dataflow PSV independently confirms the authenticity of your credentials by contacting the original issuing institutions. Every GCC health authority — DHA, DOH, SCFHS, QCHP, and NHRA — requires a completed PSV report before processing your license.
Academic Qualifications
Primary degree, transcripts, and postgraduate qualifications verified directly with the issuing university or institution.
Professional Registration
Current and historical professional licenses and registrations confirmed with the issuing regulatory body in your home country.
Employment History
Experience letters and employment records verified with each employer, confirming dates, roles, and departments.
Good Standing Certificates
Certificates of good standing or letters of professional conduct verified with the issuing regulatory authority.
The Dataflow Verification Process
Our structured approach ensures your Dataflow application is submitted correctly the first time, minimising delays and maximising your chances of a clean verification.
Document Review & Preparation
We review every document against Dataflow specifications — checking formatting, attestation requirements, validity dates, and completeness. Any issues are identified and resolved before submission.
Dataflow Account Setup
We create or access your Dataflow account, select the correct verification package for your target authority, and prepare the online application with accurate details.
Application Submission
Your complete application is submitted to Dataflow with all supporting documents uploaded in the correct format. We confirm receipt and provide your tracking reference.
Institution Verification
Dataflow contacts your issuing institutions to verify qualifications and experience. We monitor progress and proactively follow up with institutions that are slow to respond.
Report Generation
Once all verifications are complete, Dataflow generates your PSV report. We review the report for accuracy and flag any discrepancies before it reaches the authority.
Authority Submission
Your verified Dataflow report is submitted to your target health authority as part of your licensing application. We coordinate timing to ensure seamless progression.

FAQ
Dataflow Verification FAQ
Common questions about Dataflow PSV and the verification process. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us.
Dataflow PSV is a mandatory third-party verification process required by all GCC health authorities. An independent verification agency contacts the institutions that issued your qualifications, licenses, and experience letters to confirm their authenticity. This includes verifying your degree with the issuing university, confirming your professional registration with the licensing body, and validating your employment history with past employers.
Typical processing time is 4-8 weeks from submission, though this varies by authority and the responsiveness of your source institutions. Some authorities offer expedited processing for an additional fee. We monitor your application throughout and proactively follow up with institutions to prevent delays.
Verification issues usually stem from unresponsive institutions, document discrepancies, or expired documents rather than outright fraud. If a verification is flagged, we work with you and the institution to resolve the issue — this might involve obtaining updated documents, providing additional evidence, or facilitating communication between Dataflow and the institution. In most cases, issues can be resolved without restarting the entire process.
In some cases, yes. Certain authorities accept Dataflow reports originally submitted for a different authority, provided the report is recent and covers the required verifications. However, some authorities require their own specific Dataflow application. We advise on cross-authority compatibility and coordinate multi-authority submissions to minimise duplication.
The most common reasons are incomplete or incorrectly formatted documents, missing attestations, expired good standing certificates, and institutions that do not respond to verification requests. Our pre-submission document review catches the majority of these issues before they reach Dataflow, which is why our verification success rate is 98%.
No. Dataflow applications can be submitted online from anywhere in the world. You do not need to be physically present in the GCC. We handle the entire submission process remotely, and all communication with Dataflow and source institutions is managed on your behalf.
