Do I need PM&DC registration or a good-standing certificate?

Prepare PM&DC registration and good-standing evidence when requested by the SCFHS service for your category. Student examination eligibility and professional classification can have different requirements. Use PM&DC’s official services to check how to obtain your documents.

How much should I budget for SMLE in PKR?

Confirm the actual exam booking charge and any required verification, classification or registration fees. Convert each quoted amount using your bank’s applicable rate and include foreign-payment charges, translations and travel where relevant. There is no fixed PKR total for every applicant.

Can I take SMLE in Pakistan while doing house job?

Check your eligibility with SCFHS first, then use the scheduling instructions on your permit to check available SMLE seats in Pakistan. Plan your date around duty hours and preparation. Neither a local Prometric centre nor house-job status alone guarantees examination approval or a seat.

SMLE for Pakistani Doctors

Your path from Pakistan to a Saudi licence

Use these steps as a checklist. SCFHS requirements depend on your applicant category.

1
Prepare documents
- Passport, MBBS and house-job records
- PM&DC evidence where relevant
Check that your passport, MBBS degree, transcript and house-job records use consistent details. Keep PM&DC registration evidence ready where relevant. Local recognition alone does not guarantee SCFHS acceptance of your qualification or application.
2
Check verification
- Submit records required for your category
- Confirm package and extra-document fees
Check the documents and primary-source verification required by the SCFHS service you are applying to. Submit the requested academic, registration or experience records and confirm the package and any additional-document charges before paying.
3
Apply to SCFHS
- Use the service for your category
- Obtain your scheduling permit
Use the examination application service or Mumaris+ service specified for your category. Exam eligibility and professional classification are different steps. Follow the examination approval process to obtain a scheduling permit before booking.
4
Book your exam
- Check SMLE seats in Pakistan
- Confirm ID, fees and cancellation rules
Follow the booking instructions on your permit to check whether an SMLE seat is available in Pakistan during your eligibility period. Confirm the address, identification rules, booking charge and cancellation terms. Do not assume every Prometric centre offers SMLE.
5
Complete registration
- Finish remaining role requirements
- A pass alone does not permit practice
After the exam, complete any remaining classification and registration requirements for the role you intend to hold. A pass alone does not grant permission to practise or guarantee employment or residency admission.

SCFHS decides qualification acceptance. Local recognition or an existing licence does not guarantee approval.

Documents to prepare

Tick the documents you have ready. Final requirements depend on your category.

PassportName matches your records
MBBS & transcriptStudent evidence if eligible
House-job certificateIf required for your category
PM&DC & good standingWhen requested
Experience lettersRole and dates, if required

Passport with a name matching your academic and registration records
MBBS degree and transcript, or student-status evidence for an eligible student category
House-job or internship statement or completion certificate where required
PM&DC registration and a certificate of good standing when requested for your category
Experience letters with your role, dates and issuing institution where required

This is a preparation checklist, not a guarantee of eligibility. The SCFHS service selected for your category determines the final document requirements.

Planning examples only. Confirm official charges and your bank’s rate before paying.

Illustrative subtotal

PKR 241,5553,270 SAR

Includes all three items only if applicable. Extras excluded: bank charges, taxes, translations, additional documents, travel, separate registration and retakes.

Planning example: 1 SAR ≈ PKR 73.87, derived from SBP’s USD/PKR revaluation rate on 7 October 2026 and SAR 3.75 per USD. This is not your bank’s card-payment rate. The SAR figures are budget examples, not confirmed current checkout fees; your applicant category determines which charges apply.

This example includes all three items only if they apply to your pathway. It excludes bank conversion charges, taxes, translations, extra verification documents, travel, separate registration charges and repeat attempts. Replace the assumptions with the amounts quoted in the official services before paying.

Exam eligibility permits, professional registration and scores used for residency applications serve different purposes. Confirm the validity period for your intended service with SCFHS; do not assume one universal two-year rule.

SMLE exam fee in Pakistan: plan the whole process

For a Saudi medical licensing exam fee in Pakistan, compare your quoted examination charge with the wider costs of verification, Mumaris services and travel. Keep your PKR conversion separate from the original SAR charge and allow for payment conversion fees.
