Human Resources Ministry Expands ‘Professional Verification’ Service to 160 Countries for Expatriate Workers

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has successfully completed the final phase of its "Professional Verification" service, expanding its coverage to 160 labor-exporting countries under the "Professional Accreditation" program, aimed at enhancing the skill levels of expatriate workers entering the Kingdom in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
 The service implements Cabinet decision No. 195, which seeks to ensure that expatriate workers possess verified academic and scientific qualifications and the practical skills required by the Saudi labor market before they arrive in the Kingdom.
 The Professional Verification service targets highly skilled professions, ensuring workers' efficiency and aligning their academic qualifications with their educational background and field of expertise. This is achieved using established standards such as the Saudi Standard Classification of Occupations and the Saudi Unified Classification of Educational Levels and Specializations. The fully automated service is provided through a unified platform, offering simplified and expedited procedures.
 As part of the initiative, the ministry has covered 1,007 professions within the Professional Verification implementation plan, targeting all labor-exporting countries. The program focuses on professions classified within groups 1-3 under the Saudi Unified Classification of Professions, including engineering and health professions, in coordination with relevant government agencies.
 The ministry's efforts aim to regulate the labor market, improve the quality of jobs and services, and enhance productivity levels across the workforce.
