Introduction

If you're a nurse or midwife from Kerala planning to work in Qatar, getting a Good Standing Certificate (GSC) from the Kerala Nurses and Midwives Council (KNMC) is a crucial step. This certificate confirms that you are a registered professional in good standing with no disciplinary actions against you.

In this blog, we will guide you through the application process for the KNMC GSC, specifically for Qatar Prometric and QCHP licensing, along with document requirements, common mistakes, and how Trueway can assist you, including Dataflow verification services.

What is a KNMC Good Standing Certificate?

A Good Standing Certificate is an official letter issued by KNMC stating that a nurse or midwife:

• Holds a valid registration under KNMC.

• Has no disciplinary cases, complaints, or professional misconduct on record.

This certificate is mandatory for nurses and midwives who are applying for licensure or employment in foreign countries like Qatar.

Validity: Typically valid for 6 months from the date of issue, depending on the licensing authority's requirements.

Why is the GSC Required for Qatar Prometric & QCHP?

To work as a nurse or midwife in Qatar, you need to obtain a license from the Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners (QCHP). A key part of this licensing process is clearing the Qatar Prometric Exam and completing Dataflow verification.

The GSC is required to:

• Prove that you are a professionally qualified nurse/midwife with a clean record.

• Complete your Primary Source Verification (PSV) through Dataflow.

• Fulfil the document requirements during the QCHP eligibility and licensing process.

Eligibility Criteria to Apply for GSC for Qatar from KNMC

You are eligible to apply for a KNMC GSC if:

✅ You are a registered nurse or midwife with the Kerala Nurses and Midwives Council.

✅ Your registration is active and valid. (Expired registrations must be renewed first.)

✅ You have no pending legal issues, complaints, or disciplinary actions.

✅ You are applying for job opportunities abroad, especially in Qatar, through Prometric/QCHP.

Even if you have not worked recently, you can apply for the GSC as long as your registration is valid and clean.
