Frequently Asked Questions on Dubai Healthcare Licenses
What should I do if I fail the Prometric or the oral examination?
If you do not pass, you can re-apply and re-appear. Most authorities allow up to three attempts across the UAE. We help with re-registration and booking to reduce turnaround time.
Can I transfer my license to another emirate?
Yes. To transfer from DHA Dubai to DOH Abu Dhabi, you need a valid Good Standing Certificate and active status. Our experts make the transfer seamless and hassle-free.
Does an X-ray or nuclear medicine facility need to get the approval of FANR?
Yes, healthcare facilities that use X-ray, CT, radiology, or nuclear medicine machines must have a permit from FANR. This stands for the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation. Any facility that operates these machines needs a FANR permit.
This is a legal requirement, and the facility cannot operate without it. Our FANR consultants in Dubai will help you with your application. They will also assist with your radiation safety records and inspection documents. This way, you can achieve compliance on time.
Which documents do you need to begin the licensing process?
- For professionals: If you are renewing, you must submit your passport, Emirates ID, and educational credentials. You also need work experience certificates, a Good Standing Certificate, proof of malpractice insurance, and your CME records.
- For facilities: Typical documents for submission include a valid trade license, Ejari or tenancy contract, floor plan, a list of clinical staff, and malpractice insurance coverage.
- For FANR: facilities must provide the Radiation Safety Officer’s details, equipment certificates, and all radiation safety records.
