Overview of MOHAP Medical Licensing in the UAE for Healthcare Professionals
A MOHAP license is a compulsory legal requirement for every healthcare professional who wants to practice medicine in the UAE. To qualify, applicants must meet educational, professional experience, and licensing requirements verified through Primary Source Verification (PSV). Exams may be required, though exemptions apply for some professionals. The process includes portal registration, document submission, PSV, exams, and activation through the employing facility.
The average cost ranges from AED 1,662 to AED 5,212, depending on the profession. Obtaining a license usually takes 2–3 months, including PSV, exams, and MOHAP review. Each license is valid for one year and must be renewed annually, with professionals required to complete 40 CME hours before renewal. Conversion to DHA or DOH licenses is possible with a Good Standing Certificate and linked PSV reports.
