Why PSV decides your licensing pace
PSV verifies your education, licences/Good Standing, and employment directly at source. Most delays aren’t “policy”—they’re mismatched names, cropped seals, wrong upload buckets, or missing translations. A disciplined pack and status tracking move you straight to Eligibility/Licence.
The clean sequence
Name alignment first
Ensure every document shows your passport-exact name (all middle names). If not, request reissue or an official annotation before you touch legalisation.
Legalise → then translate
Hague countries: Apostille. Non-Hague: consular chain (foreign ministry + UAE/KSA/Qatar embassy).
Sworn translation after legalisation. Upload both the legalised original and the translation.
Build one PDF per item
Order pages: Original → Apostille/attestations → Sworn translation → Cover letter (if any).
Colour scan, 300–400 dpi, margins intact, seals/QRs visible.
Map to the right PSV component
Education: degree + full transcripts (hours/credits).
Licence/Good Standing: active licence, current GSC.
Employment: references on letterhead with duties, FTE, dates, signature/stamp.
Upload + note verifier links
Where a QR/URL exists, add it in the portal field—don’t rely on screenshots.
Track to Verified
Monitor each component; respond to addenda inside 72 hours with clean replacements.
Document pack (role-agnostic baseline)
Passport identity page.
Degree + full transcripts (hours/credits).
Home regulator licence + Good Standing Certificate (recent).
Employment references (duties, FTE, dates; signed & stamped).
Name-change evidence (if applicable).
Any internship/residency/fellowship certificates (Doctors).
Mandatory training (BLS/ACLS/ATLS/PALS; role-specific).

Name mismatch (missing middle names) → correct at issuer; upload reissued or annotated document.
Translated before legalised → redo translation after legalisation; reupload combined PDF.
Cropped seals/QRs → rescan in colour with margins; verify QR works.
Wrong bucket (e.g., licence in Employment) → move to correct component; add note.
Out-of-date Good Standing at final review → reorder; upload fresh PDF; notify verifier.
Reference lacks duties/FTE → request amended letter; stamp/sign on letterhead.
Role-specific signals
Doctors
Include case logs when later requesting advanced privileges (endoscopy/sedation/ICU).
Check any exam waiver/equivalence rules early.
Nurses
Clarify category (e.g., RN Med-Surg/ICU/Paeds) in references where possible.
Keep BLS/ACLS/PALS in-date for unit fit.
Physiotherapists
Make transcripts show MSK/neuro/cardioresp hours; add competency letters if available.
Prepare a concise rehab outcomes summary (last 6–12 months).
Tracking dashboard (build once)
Fast quality checks (10 minutes)
Do all files show the same legal name as the passport?
Are apostille/attestation pages before the translation in the PDF?
Does each employment letter list duties + FTE + dates on letterhead with stamp/signature?
Are QR/verification links clickable and working?
Timelines (signals, not guarantees)
Education/Licence components often clear faster when issuers have digital verification portals.
Employment depends on HR responsiveness—prime them by email with consent and reference numbers.
