What Dataflow and PSV verification covers
Regulators in Saudi Arabia (SCFHS), the UAE (DHA, HAAD), Qatar (QCHP), and other Gulf states verify a licence applicant primary source qualifications through Dataflow or a comparable PSV body. The regulator receives the verification report directly. The applicant provides the documents that make the verification possible.
The Dataflow file needs the degree, the transcript, the registration or licence documents, and identity records, usually in the form the regulator specifies. Some regulators ask for attested copies, others for scanned originals, and the PSV body decides which sources it will contact.
Our role is the Pakistan-side preparation. We confirm what the regulator and the verification body need, arrange HEC or university verification where required, prepare the attested copies, and coordinate the courier so the file reaches the body complete. The verification outcome is decided by the body and the regulator, not by us.
We follow the file until the report status updates, and we confirm the current requirement for your regulator before anything is filed.

Steps that go with a Dataflow file
The HEC step and attested copies run first where the regulator asks for them, and translation is added for Arabic files.
HEC Degree and Transcript Attestation
HEC’s Degree Attestation System went fully online and paperless on 11 May 2026. There is no counter visit and no original to send. Your degree and transcript are verified digitally against the university record, and HEC issues a downloadable, verifiable e-Attestation Certificate in place of the old stamp. The application runs through the HEC e-Services portal at eservices.hec.gov.pk. We build it from clean scans or photos of your documents, enter your academic record, upload what HEC asks for, and pay the government fee (a route-specific amount per document) online through 1-Link. The degree and transcript are separate applications with separate fees, and we submit them together so both verification cycles run at the same time. The slow step is the university. HEC asks your university to confirm the registration number, year of passing, and grades before it issues the certificate. If the university is slow, our team follows up directly with the registrar so your file does not sit idle. Most people come to us for HEC attestation because they are applying for a Gulf work visa, a Canadian immigration file through WES, IQAS, or ICAS, or a job that needs foreign credential recognition. HEC is the first step in many of these cases. For assessor files, we check the receiving body’s instructions first, because some routes use the HEC e-attestation while others ask the university to send the record directly. When the destination requires MOFA and the embassy to see the physical documents, your originals then move through those steps with the e-certificate on the file. You never send your originals for the HEC step itself. Clean scans are enough, and you get the e-Attestation Certificate the moment HEC issues it, plus WhatsApp updates at every stage.
MOFA Attestation
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the second stamp on any Pakistani document heading overseas. After the issuing body confirms the document (HEC for degrees, IBCC for school certificates, NADRA for personal documents), MOFA adds its own stamp that confirms the prior verification. MOFA runs two routes. The traditional attestation feeds into the embassy step for non-Hague destinations like the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Malaysia. The apostille route is a single stamp valid in Hague Convention member states that accept Pakistani apostilles, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, China, the UK, Australia, and others. Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland are members but objected to Pakistan's accession, so the apostille is not accepted there and we verify each case with the receiving office. Pakistan acceded to the Hague Convention, and the apostille route entered into force on 9 March 2023. Our main office is in Lahore, where we coordinate intake, customer support, and nationwide dispatch. MOFA operates from offices in Lahore and Islamabad, so we file at the location that fits your document and route. Legal documents such as power of attorney, court orders, and affidavits, and commercial documents such as board resolutions, certificates of origin, and export invoices, run separate tracks at MOFA with their own fees and timelines. Legal papers must be notarised first. Commercial papers must be verified by the Chamber of Commerce or SECP before MOFA will accept them. Both classes are covered on this page. Personal and educational documents run 2 to 3 working days at MOFA, and legal and commercial files 3 to 5. Express service can finish in about a day for eligible files.
Certified Translation
A certified translation is a translation accompanied by a statement from the translator that the rendering is accurate, signed and dated, and usually confirmed by a notary public. Embassies, foreign universities, and employers ask for this form rather than a plain translation because they need to know who stands behind the accuracy. The most common jobs we handle are Urdu to English (nikah nama, educational documents, CNIC and domicile records), English to Arabic (for Saudi and Gulf employer files), and Urdu to Arabic (for marriage and family documents used in the Gulf). For Saudi and UAE files the translated document usually goes through MOFA and the embassy after the notary step. The translator attaches a signed statement to the translated pages. The notary then confirms the translator signed in their presence, which is what gives the package its official character. Some destinations also want the translation typed on their embassy letterhead format. We check the receiving office requirement before starting. We collect the original or a legible copy, confirm the target language and the receiving office, and return the certified translation with the notary seal ready for the next step in the file.
Licensing journeys that use this service
This service is part of the document chain for these professional licensing journeys. Open a journey to see the full route, from attestation to what the regulator alone decides.
SCFHS Saudi Arabia · Doctor license
Pakistani physicians migrating to the Kingdom must complete three separate verification gates. First, your MBBS degree, transcript, and house job certificates undergo digital HEC e-Attestation. Next, your credentials and PMDC Good Standing letter are verified at source through the Dataflow portal under your SCFHS profile. Once Dataflow issues your positive verification report, the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties evaluates your eligibility for the specialty Prometric exam or registrar classification. We take over the entire Pakistan-side logistics, managing university verification follow-ups, HEC portal filings, and consular legalisation.
View the journey SCFHS Saudi Arabia · Nurse license
Saudi hospital recruiters require all foreign nursing staff to obtain professional classification through SCFHS. The process begins with HEC attestation of your BSc Nursing or General Nursing diploma, followed by direct verification of your Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC) registration and hospital experience letters through Dataflow. We manage the entire Pakistan-side document chain, from board and university attestations to Dataflow case coordination, freeing you to prepare for your nursing Prometric exam.
View the journey SCFHS Saudi Arabia · Pharmacist license
Practicing pharmacy in Saudi Arabia requires professional registration through SCFHS. Your PharmD degree, academic transcripts, and Pakistan Pharmacy Council registration must be attested by HEC, legalised through MOFA, and submitted for Dataflow Primary Source Verification. We manage the Pakistan-side paperwork and university verifications so your SCFHS application proceeds without delays.

DHA / DOH UAE · Doctor license
Medical licensing in the UAE is jurisdiction-based. Dubai Health Authority (DHA) regulates medical facilities in Dubai, the Department of Health (DOH) oversees Abu Dhabi, and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) covers Sharjah and the remaining emirates. All three health authorities require your MBBS degree, internship completion, PMDC Good Standing certificate, and clinical experience verified through Dataflow PSV. We collect your originals across Pakistan, manage HEC and MOFA legalisation, process UAE Embassy stamping, and structure your dossier for instant Dataflow approval.
View the journey DHA / DOH UAE · Nurse license
Targeting clinical positions across Dubai Healthcare City or government hospitals in Abu Dhabi requires meeting strict emirate standards. Your nursing diploma or BSN degree requires HEC attestation, MOFA sealing, and UAE Embassy legalisation. Simultaneously, your Pakistan Nursing Council (PNC) registration and clinical employment history must be validated directly with issuing institutions through Dataflow. Our team handles the physical paperwork chain in Pakistan, from university records to embassy dropboxes, allowing you to focus on your DHA or DOH computer-based assessment.

QCHP Qatar · Doctor license
The Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners (QCHP), operating under the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), evaluates international medical graduates through primary source verification and specialty Prometric testing. Your MBBS degree, house job certificate, PMDC registration, and clinical experience letters require HEC and MOFA legalisation followed by Qatar Embassy stamping in Islamabad. We manage the complete verification and attestation lifecycle so your QCHP file proceeds smoothly.
View the journey QCHP Qatar · Nurse license
Hamad Medical Corporation, Primary Health Care Corporation, and private hospitals in Doha mandate QCHP registration for all nursing staff. Your BSN degree or general nursing diploma must be attested by HEC and MOFA, legalised by the Qatar Embassy, and submitted for Dataflow PSV verification alongside your PNC registration. We take care of all Pakistan-side document processing and institutional verifications.
View the journey
OMSB Oman · Doctor license
Oman accession to the Hague Apostille Convention keeps the document preparation stage direct for Pakistani physicians. Your MBBS degree and PMDC credentials undergo HEC verification followed directly by the federal MOFA apostille sticker, bypassing embassy queues. Your credentials then enter Dataflow primary source verification before OMSB reviews your clinical eligibility. We handle all Pakistan-side HEC and MOFA apostille steps, providing tracking until delivery.
View the journey OMSB Oman · Nurse license
Because Oman accepts the MOFA apostille, Pakistani nurses need only HEC verification and the federal apostille sticker on their nursing degree and PNC registration before Dataflow verification. OMSB then reviews the positive verification report to grant exam permission. We manage your HEC application, university follow-ups, and MOFA apostille filing end to end.

The verification report goes to your regulator on the destination side. The licensing journeys are covered in the licensing section.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi work and family visas split between the MOFA apostille and the traditional consular route depending on your sponsor and profession. Regulated roles in healthcare, engineering, and academia require the Saudi Cultural Mission Mosadaqa check, which adds weeks if not scheduled early. We assess your offer letter, verify degrees with HEC and MOFA, and manage the complete submission chain in Islamabad.
