Attention: All Engineers (Mohandes) in KSA

Dears,

I joined this forum when I saw this topic. I can see that a lot of people have confusions and wanted to share my experience with others.

First of all, Even though this Engineering registration thing is a lot of frustration, I can clearly see some benefits. First, only Engineers are allowed to be engineers and not any person would claim this title from now on. The companies winning contracts on false claims of having engineers will not be able to do so. The engineers will have a better demand and hence better salaries.

Now for the procedure. I submitted the application on the same day they moved to their new location in Riyadh (The North Ring Highway). They had a really messed up setup with no organization at all. I completed an online form, filled in an application form, had my degree with me (not attested as I had it from KSA university) with a couple of personal photos.

For those people who are not clear if they qualify or not, If your degree says an Engineer, you are eligible. Otherwise, good luck changing the profession on your Iqama. The guy evauating my file had a glance at my degree and approved. I waited in line for 2 hours to be able to pay the fee. after that, they told me to come back after one week to get a paper saying that I am registered with them so I can renew my Iqama. I had to make a request to get the paper next day because my I qama was expiring in a couple days. Please dont put your self in that position as people working there will not listen or try to understan you. Please save your dignity as the treatment you will get from some people is inhumane. I am talking about a fat midget who is working there (I dont feel sorry for saying this).

If anyone has any particular question, please let me know and I will try to help. I have been living in KSA for 30 Years (I am 30 years old )

To get a letter from SCE you have to upload your documents to their site. They will issue a letter to your company asking to change your profession.
