Overview of DHA Professional License in Dubai
An MOH license is a mandatory legal requirement for any healthcare professional seeking to practice medicine in the Northern Emirates of the UAE, including Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. To qualify, applicants must meet educational, professional experience, and licensing requirements verified through Primary Source Verification (PSV). Exams may be required, though some professionals are exempt. The process includes portal registration, document submission, PSV verification, exam clearance, and finally license activation through the employing facility.
The average cost of an MOHAP license ranges from AED 1,662 to AED 5,212, depending on the profession. Obtaining an MOH license in the UAE usually takes 2–3 months, including PSV, exams, and the Ministry of Health review. Each medical license is valid for one year and must be renewed annually, with professionals required to complete 40 CME hours before renewal.
