For professionals looking for work opportunities in Gulf locations such as Bahrain, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar, it is essential to have a professional license from the governing bodies and regulators. To get a professional license, individuals must obtain a Primary Source Verification (PSV) Report for their application to the regulatory authority in the region. For example, professionals who want to apply for an NHRA license in Bahrain must submit a Primary Source Verification report. However, the applicants who have already completed the Primary Source Verification process previously but are moving to a new location or authority do not need to undergo the entire verification process again. Thankfully, you can use DataFlow’s Report Transfer service to save valuable time and money, speeding up the process of obtaining a professional license from the relevant authority.
What is a Report Transfer and how do I use this service?
A Report Transfer is a service provided by DataFlow where applicants can transfer their previously verified DataFlow Primary Source Verification Report from one regulator to another. If no additional documents are required for verification, the report for transfer is usually provided within 5-7 working days.
Once you apply for a Report Transfer, DataFlow will review your request and identify whether you need to submit any additional documents for verification.
