The Norwegian Directorate of Health uses the verification service Dataflow Group for verifying documents from Pakistan. Consequently, you must have your documents verified by Dataflow for The Norwegian Directorate of Health to consider documents in your application. For verification, you must create a user account and upload the documents by visiting DataFlow's search portal here: DataFlow Group
If you have applied before 21st January 2025, you will receive a separate letter in Altinn regarding document verification.
Documents you need to verify:
- Diploma/degree certificate
- Transcript
Additionally, you must verify the following documents if you have them:
- Certificate of relevant work experience
- License to practise/registration
The Norwegian Directorate has started processing applications with overdue processing times. However, you should still expect long processing times as applications are processed individually and in the order which they are received. The expected processing time is four (4) months from when we receive the verification report.
For new applicants, standard processing time applies. You can find information about this here: You have applied or received a decision – processing time and appeal
Please note that verification of necessary documentation via DataFlow Group is mandatory. We cannot assess your documents until the final verification report is received.
