Checking your continuing professional development record before renewal gives you time to correct missing activities and complete any hours still due. In Mumaris Plus, healthcare practitioners can view their recorded CPD hours, compare them with the required total, and review whether recent activities have reached their account.
This guide explains how to check CPD hours in Mumaris Plus, what the counters mean, how to track a recognition request, and what to do if an activity is missing. It is written for doctors, pharmacists, dentists, nurses, technicians, specialists, and other SCFHS registered practitioners in Saudi Arabia.
What CPD Hours Mean in Mumaris Plus
Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, covers learning that helps healthcare practitioners maintain and develop their professional knowledge and skills. Many people also search for CME hours. CME is commonly used for continuing medical education, while CPD is the broader term used across healthcare professions and in current Saudi Commission for Health Specialties services.
Mumaris Plus is the SCFHS platform for practitioner services. According to the official View Continuing Professional Development Hours service, the CPD record updates after attendance is confirmed by the CPD provider. Practitioners can then sign in and open the CPD Hours area to view the record.
Your account is the best source for your personal requirement. Professional category, registration status, and individual circumstances can affect what you need, so do not rely only on a number quoted in a general article.
How to Check Your CPD Hours in Mumaris Plus
Sign in to Mumaris Plus. Open the official Mumaris Plus portal and sign in to the account connected to your professional registration.
Open the CPD Hours section. Find the CPD Hours option in your account. SCFHS identifies this as the area used to view your continuing professional development record.
Check the recorded total. Review the total hours currently credited to your account. Do not assume that every completed activity has been posted until you see it in the record.
Compare required and due hours. The hours counter shows the required hours and the hours still due. Use these figures to plan what you need before professional re-registration.
Review individual activities. Check recent entries against your certificates or attendance records. Confirm the activity title, date, provider, and credited hours where those details are displayed.
Investigate any difference. If a completed activity is missing, first identify whether it was a Saudi activity posted by a provider or an external or self-learning activity that may need recognition.

How to Understand Your CPD Hours Record
The record is useful only when you understand what each figure tells you. SCFHS states that practitioners can view required and due hours through the hours counter and CPD hours record in Mumaris Plus.
Term | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Recorded CPD hours | Hours currently credited to your account | Shows confirmed progress, not merely courses you remember completing |
Required hours | The total requirement associated with your professional registration | Sets the target you should meet before renewal |
Due or remaining hours | The difference still outstanding in the current requirement | Shows whether you need additional eligible activities |
Activity entry | A course, conference, workshop, or other eligible activity shown in the record | Lets you compare the record with certificates and attendance information |
Recognition request status | The progress of an application for eligible external or self-learning hours | Shows whether the request is under review or has reached a final decision |
How to Check the Status of a CPD Activity or Recognition Request
There are two different checks, and confusing them can waste time.
For provider posted activities inside Saudi Arabia, check whether the activity appears in your CPD Hours record. The provider is responsible for entering eligible attendance hours through the relevant SCFHS system. A certificate from an internal activity cannot normally be submitted by the practitioner through the external recognition route.
For eligible hours earned abroad or through self-learning, you may need the Recognition of CPD Hours service. Its process includes entering the application details, paying the applicable fee, viewing the application status, and receiving a final decision. The current SCFHS service page lists a 30 business day service duration and a SAR 100 fee; check the live service page before submitting because fees and service levels can change.
Keep the application reference and supporting documents until the result appears in your account. A submitted request is not the same as approved hours, so plan around the final decision rather than the submission date.
How Many CPD Hours Are Required for SCFHS Renewal
The current SCFHS professional re-registration requirements list the following general hour requirements:
Professional category | General requirement listed by SCFHS |
|---|---|
Technicians | 20 hours |
Specialists | 40 hours |
Pharmacists | 40 hours |
Doctors | 60 hours |
These are general figures. Use the required and due counters in your Mumaris Plus account as the final guide for your own registration. If your classification is not clearly covered by the table, or your circumstances are unusual, confirm the requirement with SCFHS before purchasing or completing activities.
Why CPD Hours May Not Appear in Mumaris Plus
A missing activity does not always mean that the course was rejected. The correct next step depends on the activity source and how its hours should reach your account.
The provider has not yet entered or confirmed attendance for an eligible Saudi activity.
Your SCFHS registration details did not match the information supplied to the provider.
You were outside the eligible target group for the activity or were classified but not actively registered.
The activity was completed outside Saudi Arabia and requires a recognition application.
An online or self-learning activity requires review through the relevant recognition service.
The supporting certificate is unclear, incomplete, outside the accepted language requirements, or missing required activity information.
The activity is not sufficiently related to your specialty or does not meet the applicable SCFHS recognition rules.
Before escalating the issue, compare your certificate with the activity entry and confirm the date, provider, accreditation or approval number, credited hours, and the professional registration details used at enrolment.

What to Do If Your CPD Hours Are Missing
Activities Completed Inside Saudi Arabia
Contact the activity provider first. SCFHS states that the provider is responsible for entering attendance hours for eligible internal activities. Ask the provider to confirm that your attendance was recorded, your registration number was correct, the activity was approved, and you were part of the eligible target group.
If the provider does not respond, use the SCFHS Tawasul service. SCFHS advises practitioners to include the entity name, activity approval number, and activity date when reporting missing internal hours. Keep your certificate and any correspondence with the provider ready.
Activities Completed Outside Saudi Arabia or Through Self Learning
Open My Services in Mumaris Plus and select the Recognition of CPD Hours service when the activity is eligible. Complete the application and upload the required supporting evidence. For a conference, seminar, workshop, or training course, the official service page requires an attendance certificate containing details such as the practitioner name, activity title, dates, country, number of hours, activity reference, accreditation number, accrediting body, and specialty.

How Long CPD Hours Take to Appear
There is no single posting time for every activity. The official SCFHS viewing service says the record updates automatically once attendance is confirmed by the CPD provider. The timing therefore depends on the provider and activity process. SCFHS also gives providers a defined period after an activity to register attendance, so a completed event may not appear immediately.
Recognition applications follow a separate review process. The current SCFHS service page lists a service duration of 30 business days. Do not treat that as a promise that every case will finish sooner, and allow additional time if documents are incomplete or further review is required.
For courses completed through Mulhim, Mulhim currently states that completed hours are reflected in Mumaris Plus within 24 to 48 hours. This timeframe applies to Mulhim's own course process, not to every provider or every recognition application.
How to Track CPD Hours Before Renewal
Check the CPD Hours record regularly rather than waiting for the final weeks before renewal.
Compare recorded hours with the required and due counters in your account.
Keep certificates, attendance confirmations, and accreditation details in one folder.
Confirm that each recent activity appears with the expected number of hours.
Follow up early when an activity is missing, especially if a recognition request may be needed.
Choose accredited activities that are relevant to your professional category and specialty.
Plan additional learning around the hours still due and the time required for posting or review.
