MOHAP Licensing
Planning to Work in the Northern Emirates?
Healthcare professionals wishing to work in a facility regulated by the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) must obtain the appropriate MOHAP evaluation and professional license.
MOHAP regulates healthcare professionals working in facilities under its jurisdiction, including facilities in Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain.
Dr Expat will help you understand the correct licensing route and manage your application from the initial assessment through to approval.
Who Needs a MOHAP license?
Doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and allied healthcare professionals planning to work in a MOHAP-regulated healthcare facility will require MOHAP approval and licensing before they can begin practising.

A MOHAP licence allows you to work in healthcare facilities regulated by MOHAP. We can help you confirm which authority applies to the facility or emirate where you intend to work.
In many cases, an existing report can be transferred. Additional verification may still be requested depending on the documents previously checked.
Requirements vary by profession, but commonly include qualifications, professional registration, employment certificates, a Good Standing Certificate, passport and other supporting documents.
This depends on your profession, qualifications, experience and whether an exemption applies. We will advise you after assessing your documents.
