DHA Nursing License for Freshers in Dubai – Key Guidelines and Requirements
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has introduced a “Fresher Category“ for nurses, making it possible to apply for a DHA nursing license without the previously required 2 years of experience. However, there are important conditions to understand before applying.
1-DHA Nursing Educational Gap Requirements
- DHA generally prefers applicants without a significant gap between graduation and the license application date.
- If your educational gap exceeds 2 years, you may be required to submit a recent 2-year experience certificate to support your application.
2-DHA Additional Training or Probation After Hiring
- Even if you qualify under the Fresher Category, many healthcare employers in Dubai may ask you to complete on-the-job training or a probation period.
- This is done to ensure that you meet the facility’s internal standards and protocols.
3- Submit Primary Source Verification (DataFlow)
DHA Dataflow Verification for Nurses
Dataflow verification is a vital step in getting your DHA license. Here’s what you need to know:
- Submit all required documents on the official Dataflow portal.
- Complete the payment to start the verification process.
- Do not submit fake certificates – this can lead to disqualification.
- If you’ve had a name change, provide valid supporting documents (like an affidavit or legal proof).
DHA Dataflow Payment – Fees and How to Pay for Verification
DHA Dataflow Verification Timeline – Duration, Status Check & Notifications
The DHA Dataflow verification process usually takes 30 to 40 days, depending on how quickly the verification is completed by the relevant authorities.
- Once you complete the payment, you will receive a DHA Dataflow case number via email.
- You can use this case number to track the status on the Dataflow Status page.
4: Schedule DHA Prometric Exam
How to Book the DHA Exam
- Register and create a professional DHA account on the DHA Website.
- you will receive an Eligibility ID required to book the exam.
- Based on your professional title, you will need to take a Prometric exam or an oral exam.
Make the DHA EXAM Payment
- Pay the exam fee (usually around USD 240 – 280, depending on the category).
- After payment, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your exam details.
Can I Take the DHA Exam Before Dataflow Verification?
The validity of the exam is 5 years, and you are allowed a total of 3 attempts. If you fail all three attempts, you must wait for 2 years before trying again.

6- Secure a Job Offer & Apply for Activation
