Scheduling Permit 101 (when it appears, where to download, how it updates)

Updated 1 month ago 1 min read

Audience: IMGs waiting to schedule or reprint a permit.

Summary: The permit posts after ECFMG processes your application and (if needed) your school’s enrollment verification. Download it from MyIntealth/MyECFMG → Exams/USMLE → Print Scheduling Permit. If your name changes or you extend your window, ECFMG issues a revised permit—use the newest one on test day. 

Where to find it

  • MyIntealth Applicant Guide shows how to locate and download the permit. 

Updates that trigger a new permit

  • Name change processed by ECFMG → revised permit required on test day. 

  • Eligibility extension/changes → permit reissues with updated details (always re-download before testing). 

Once ECFMG finishes processing your app (and any school verification), your permit appears in MyIntealth. Download/print it from Exams → Print Scheduling Permit. If you change your name or extend your window, ECFMG sends a revised permit—bring the newest one to Prometric.
