Keeping your APC valid on JomLocum

Who needs it

Doctors (GP), dentists, nurses and physiotherapists must have an approved certificate before they can apply for jobs. Depending on your role, that is your APC, your nursing certificate or your MAHPC registration certificate.

DSAs and clinic assistants do not need one.

Why JomLocum checks

Anyone can sign up to an app. Without a check, a scammer could pretend to be a doctor or a nurse and take a shift, or a fake clinic could try to trick locums.

So our team looks at every certificate before it is approved. Clinics are checked too: a clinic must be approved before it can post a job.

This keeps both sides safe. Clinics know the person coming in has a real certificate, and you know a clinic posting in the app has been checked.

How to upload

Go to My Profile, tap the upload button and add a clear photo or scan. Our team checks it within 1 to 2 business days. When it is approved, your profile shows the date it is valid until.

Reminders

JomLocum reminds you 30 days and again 7 days before your certificate expires, in the app and by push notification.

When it expires

Once the date passes, you cannot apply for new jobs until you upload your new certificate and we approve it. Renew early so there is no gap, then tap the Replace button in My Profile.

Your document stays private

We delete the image right after each review, approved or not. We only keep the date it is valid until.

What our check is not

Our check is done by the JomLocum team. It is not an official confirmation from the Malaysian Medical Council, the Malaysian Dental Council, the Nursing Board Malaysia or the Malaysian Allied Health Professions Council. Keeping your registration valid with your council is still your responsibility.
