After changing the profession at the labor office to an engineer, the engineer must log in to his/her profile on SCE website, click on "Apply for Membership Update at the General Directorate of Passports", and pay the update fees (SAR 100).

• Visit the SCE website using any search engine. 
• Select the type of registration in the Professional Accreditation section (Engineering – Technician)
• Select the nationality, then the accommodation "Iqama" Number or Borders Number (in case the Iqama Number is not issued) and fill in the rest of the fields
• After registration, you will receive a text message containing a payment number for an amount of SAR 500, which covers the processing fee.
