Create a Sheryan account, complete Registration for your profession, then complete Primary Source Verification (PSV). Some categories require a computer‑based assessment. After passing checks/exams, a hiring facility must activate your registration into a license before you can practice.
Official guidance: DHA licensing manual and CBT/assessment info. Dubai Health Authority+1

First review the Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR) for your category. Apply via TAMM / DOH e‑services, complete PSV, and take any required assessments. Once approved, your license is issued and linked to the employing facility.
Official guidance: DOH PQR and TAMM licensing service. Department of Health Abu Dhabi+1

Log in to MOHAP e‑services with UAE PASS, submit your documents, pay fees, and complete evaluation steps as instructed. Applications are reviewed by MOHAP; once approved, the license is issued/renewed and linked to the facility as required.

Expect identity (passport), qualifications (degree/diploma), current/previous professional registration or license, experience certificates, and a Good Standing letter.
