UAE Healthcare Licensing: Don't Pick the Wrong One
UAE healthcare licensing runs through four separate systems, DHA, MOHAP, DOH, and DHCC, and each one covers a different part of the country. We provide complete licensing support across all four, so instead of figuring out which portal, which exam, and which document list applies to you, you get one team handling the entire process from document assessment to license activation.
| Authority | Coverage | Portal | Exam Vendor |
|---|---|---|---|
| DHA | Dubai (excl. DHCC) | Sheryan | Prometric |
| DOH | Abu Dhabi & Al Ain | TAMM | Pearson VUE |
| MOHAP | Northern Emirates | MOHAP portal | Prometric |
| DHCC | Dubai Healthcare City free zone | DHCC portal | Prometric |
DHA Licensing Services (Dubai)
We provide complete DHA licensing support for doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals applying to practice anywhere in Dubai outside Dubai Healthcare City. Our DHA licensing service includes:
- Eligibility assessment against DHA’s Professional Qualification Requirements before you spend anything on fees
- Sheryan account registration and application submission
- DataFlow Primary Source Verification, submitted and tracked on your behalf
- Prometric exam scheduling, plus crash courses, MCQs, and timed mock tests
- Eligibility letter follow-up and license activation once you have a job offer
- License renewal, transfer, and amendment for professionals already DHA licensed
MOHAP Licensing Services (Northern Emirates)
We provide MOHAP licensing support for professionals targeting Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, or Fujairah. Our MOHAP licensing service includes:
- Self-assessment and eligibility confirmation on the MOHAP portal
- Document preparation and evaluation application submission
- DataFlow verification management, including follow-up on delayed or unresponsive institutions
- Prometric exam booking and MOHAP-specific crash courses
- Eligibility letter issuance support and license activation once you have a confirmed offer
- Renewal and transfer support for existing MOHAP license holders
DOH / HAAD Licensing Services (Abu Dhabi & Al Ain)
We provide DOH licensing support for professionals applying to work in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain. Since DOH runs on TAMM and Pearson VUE rather than Sheryan and Prometric, we manage that distinction for you rather than leaving you to figure it out mid-application. Our DOH licensing service includes:
- TAMM registration and Unique Identification Number (UIN) setup
- DataFlow Primary Source Verification submission and tracking
- Professional Evaluation coordination against DOH’s Professional Qualification Requirements
- Pearson VUE exam booking, plus DOH-specific crash courses and mock exams
- Eligibility letter follow-up and license activation once employed
- License renewal, transfer, and amendment for current DOH license holders
DHCC Licensing Services (Dubai Healthcare City)
We provide DHCC professional licensing support for physicians, dentists, nurses, allied health professionals, and CAM practitioners working within Dubai Healthcare City, a separate free zone regulated independently from DHA. Our DHCC licensing service includes:
- Eligibility confirmation against DHCR’s category-specific requirements
- Application submission through DHCC’s own professional licensing system
- DataFlow Primary Source Verification, including transfer support if you already hold a DHA report
- DHCA exam registration through Prometric
- Credentialing review coordination and final license issuance
- Renewal support once your DHCR professional license is active
What’s Included Across All Four Services
Regardless of which authority applies to you, every service package we provide covers the same core stages:
| Stage | What We Handle |
|---|---|
| Eligibility check | Confirm you meet current requirements before you pay any fees |
| DataFlow verification | Submit, track, and follow up on your Primary Source Verification |
| Exam support | Booking, crash courses, MCQs, and timed mock tests |
| Eligibility letter | Follow-up and status tracking through to issuance |
| License activation | Coordination once you have a confirmed job offer |
| Renewal & transfer | Ongoing support once you’re licensed and working |
If you already hold a license or DataFlow report with one UAE authority and are moving to another, we also manage the transfer process directly. See our DataFlow process service for how that works.
