Saudi License Renewal

Today I woke up so early to get to the Saudi Council Commission Office to renew my Saudi License Card. I have prepared all the necessary requirements the night before. My card had expired last December 2011, and I cannot apply to other hospitals if I will not renew my card.

I arrived so early that I was number two when I got a number from the machine. When I sat down and greeted the receptionist, I told her that I want to renew my license under the "not working" category. Why is that so, it's complicated! My sponsorship is still with my husband, not with the previous hospital that I had worked with. Anyway, she asked for my original license card and my current employment certificate. She entered something in the computer and asked for my original IQAMA. Then again she asked me to pay for 150.00 SR for the renewal fee. By the way, this is the most important thing, all payment transactions inside the commission are made thru credit card ONLY, no cash payment.

I waited for about 10 minutes and she presented me a new card with an active license until December 2012. I asked her if she needs anything more, then she replied , nothing more. 

 

I was amazed by how easy the process was. I didn't expect that despite all the preparation I did, it would only take fifteen minutes at most and good thing was I didn't have to come back. What a great relief, now I can go back to the hospital I'm eyeing to be my future employer. :)

The requirements for Medical Technician renewal are the following:

• Saudi Council Re-Registration Form (to be filled-up)
• 30 original CME certificates, BCLS
• MOH License
• Passport copy and Iqama (Residence Permit Card) copy
• 2 recent photos (2x2)
• Original Saudi Council Registration Card
• Saudi Council Accreditation certificate copy only

The requirements for Medical Specialist renewal are the the same listed above except for bullet number 2, which should be 60 CME hours certificates.
