Three licensors in one country: DHA, DOH and MOHAP. Which authority your UAE nurse job sits under decides what evidence each one wants.
The UAE is not one healthcare licensor. Dubai is DHA. Abu Dhabi is DOH. The five northern emirates sit under MOHAP. The document inventory differs across all three. What they share is DataFlow PSV and a Pearson VUE exam at the qualifying level.
Your Situation
How SiZA helps dha, doh & mohap: uae nurse licensing documentation
A Dubai hospital wants DHA registration. An Abu Dhabi hospital wants DOH activation. A Sharjah or Ajman hospital wants MOHAP licensing. The hospital tells the candidate which one applies. The licensor decides the document inventory, the application portal, and the activation timeline.
What does not vary: every UAE nurse licensing journey goes through DataFlow primary-source verification, then a qualifying exam at a Pearson VUE centre (the level varies by classification), then the licensor-specific activation step. The India side prepares degree and council documents for the DataFlow upload, then apostille on the originals, then Arabic translation by a Saudi-mission-recognised translator or a UAE-attested translator depending on the emirate.
We have handled cases through all three licensors. The DHA application portal (Sheryan) and the DOH portal (TAMM) work differently from the MOHAP portal in their evidence requirements. The Indian-side documentation is what we control; the licensor portal step belongs to the candidate or the sponsor.
Common Situations
Real situations we run for this audience
For a Dubai hospital the licensor is DHA, applied through Sheryan
DHA licensing goes through the Sheryan portal, with primary-source verification via DataFlow and a Pearson VUE qualifying assessment. The India side is the apostilled degree and council registration set, INC and state council Good Standing, and certified Arabic translation by a UAE-attested translator.
Abu Dhabi: TAMM is the portal, DOH is the activator
DOH activation goes through TAMM (the Abu Dhabi government services portal). DataFlow PSV applies. The document set from India is similar to DHA but the activation portal is different, and Abu Dhabi-specific letterheads on hospital experience evidence can matter.
The five northern emirates sit under MOHAP, not DHA or DOH
The northern emirates are governed by MOHAP. The document inventory overlaps with DHA and DOH but the application portal and licence-issuance flow are MOHAP-specific.
Arabic translation by UAE-attested translators
After MEA Apostille on the Indian originals, certified Arabic translation goes on by translators the UAE mission attests. The translation has to match the apostilled original word-for-word in name and qualification. SiZA Multi Lingual Translators arranges this step.

Country And Process Map
What we do in India, country by country
Notary; SDM or State HRD by document category; MEA Attestation; UAE Embassy + MOFA together in India; certified Arabic translation. DataFlow upload and licensor-portal registration progress on the candidate side at the same time.
UAE MOFA happens together with UAE Embassy in India now and is no longer sent to Dubai. The candidate books Pearson VUE themselves.
How SiZA handles this work
- •Confirms which licensor applies (DHA, DOH, or MOHAP) before originals move
- •Apostille on the degree, marksheet and INC registration ready for DataFlow upload
- •INC and state council Good Standing requests progress together with the apostille leg
- •Arabic translation by UAE-attested translators after the apostille is on the original
- •UAE Embassy + MOFA together in India (no Dubai shipping leg)
- •GAMCA appointment support for Abu Dhabi-routed cases
- •Customer ID and document ID at intake; printed checklist with every document
What SiZA does not do
- •No Pearson VUE exam booking on behalf of the candidate
- •No DHA, DOH or MOHAP licence outcome promised
- •No claim that we work inside the Sheryan, TAMM or MOHAP portals
- •No back-dated experience letters or made-up registration numbers
- •No recruitment, no nursing placement
The Real Worry
What you are dealing with
Your offer says Dubai but the recruiter mentioned MOHAP, and you are not sure which licensor applies. DataFlow is asking for documents you do not have apostilled. The Pearson VUE slot two weeks out is bookable but the eligibility documents are not in hand. GAMCA is mandatory for Abu Dhabi but not for Dubai.
How SiZA addresses it
The licensor is the one the hospital files under, not the recruiter. We confirm it on call one against the offer letter. Apostille work starts from the first hour of intake. DataFlow uploads what is apostille-ready first; the rest goes up as it returns from MEA. Pearson VUE eligibility documents move on a separate track. GAMCA booking is arranged where Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates require it.
Why customers trust SiZA
The single move that decides a UAE nurse application is naming the right licensor on call one. We have handled DHA, DOH and MOHAP cases in volume and the document set differs across all three. Customer ID at intake, document ID logged at each handoff, photo proof before dispatch and a tracked return courier are the operational pieces a healthcare case rests on; they are constant whether the licensor is in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates.
