Identify the service your regulator actually accepts
Credential evaluation, regulator assessment and immigration-related screening are distinct tasks. Ask the destination regulator which service and report, if any, it requires before paying.
- Exact report or service name.
- Approved provider and recipient.
- School, licence and translation evidence needed.

Avoid duplicating document costs
A verification used for GCC employment may have a different purpose or recipient from the report needed for a U.S., Canadian or Australian application. Ask before assuming it transfers.
- Check whether an existing report can be sent to the new recipient.
- Ask about additional-recipient and update costs.
- Match the applicant name and original institution.
Keep immigration screening separate
VisaScreen is a health-care-worker credential screening service; it is not a visa, job offer or nursing licence. Its applicability depends on your immigration circumstances. Check the official service information and obtain advice appropriate to your case.
- Identify the licensure requirement first.
- Identify any separate immigration requirement.
- Do not buy a service just because another candidate used it.
