SCFHS Exam Fees 2026: What the Saudi Prometric Exam and the SMLE Cost, Plus Mumaris+ Classification, DataFlow and Registration — in USD, Saudi Riyals, Indian and Pakistani Rupees
The Saudi Prometric exam costs roughly USD 200–320 per attempt (SAR 750–1,200), and the SMLE for doctors about SAR 1,000–1,500. This guide itemises every SCFHS fee for 2026 — classification, DataFlow, exam and registration — by professional tier, with conversions to Indian and Pakistani rupees and the costs that come after a fail.
Short answer: an SCFHS Prometric exam costs roughly USD 200–320 per attempt — about SAR 750–1,200, INR 17,500–28,000 or PKR 56,000–89,500. The SMLE, the longer general exam for doctors, is in the region of SAR 1,000–1,500 (USD 270–400). Saudi fees are tiered, so the amount depends on your professional category.

Professional registration follows classification, and the amount depends on the tier and the number of years registered. Many Saudi employers reimburse it after you join.
All figures are approximate 2026 ranges, converted at fixed rates (USD 1 = INR 88, PKR 280, PHP 57). Authorities change fees without notice and your bank adds its own card charge, so confirm the amount on the official portal at the moment you pay.
Fees by tier
- Technicians and health assistants — lowest classification and exam fees.
- Specialists (nurses, pharmacists, allied health with a bachelor's degree) — the middle of the ranges above. Nurses should read the Saudi nursing licence guide.
- General practitioners and residents — sit the SMLE (SMLE guide).
- Senior registrars and consultants — highest classification fee and a specialty paper.
Which tier you fall in is decided at classification, explained in the Mumaris+ classification guide; creating the account is covered in Mumaris+ registration step by step.
SMLE cost for international doctors
The SMLE fee is set in riyals for candidates sitting in the Kingdom and charged in US dollars at international Prometric centres. Budget about INR 24,000–35,000 or PKR 75,500–112,000 for the exam itself, then add DataFlow and classification. A doctor verifying an MBBS, internship, registration and one employer should plan for a total of roughly USD 650–1,000 before travel.
What failing costs
Every attempt is a new exam fee, and SCFHS sets waiting periods between attempts. If your exam eligibility lapses before you pass, you apply again (what to do when eligibility expires). One failed attempt therefore costs the fee plus weeks of delay — the argument for timed practice on the question banks before booking.
How to pay less
- Submit the minimum set of documents DataFlow requires; every extra certificate is charged.
- Make sure names and dates match across documents before you upload. A rejected classification is paid for again (common rejection reasons).
- Ask the employer which fees the contract reimburses and keep every receipt.
