Kuwait MOH good standing certificate application Process

Are you a nurse planning your next career move after working in Kuwait? A crucial document you’ll need is the Good Standing Certificate (GSC) from the Kuwait Ministry of Health (MOH). This certificate verifies that you are in good standing with the regulatory body and have a clean professional record.

Based on the firsthand experience of nurses who have successfully completed the process, and with expert insights from Nursing Manthra, we’ve created this comprehensive, step-by-step guide to make your application seamless.

Important: Before You Begin

• Website Accessibility: The official Kuwait MOH portal (medlic.moh.gov.kw) may not be accessible from outside Kuwait. If you have already left the country, it’s highly recommended to ask a trusted friend or former colleague in Kuwait to assist you with the online application.
• Alternative Application: If you or your friend face issues with the online registration, you can visit a local “net center” (internet café or typing center) in Kuwait. They are often familiar with the process and can complete the registration for you.

Required Documents

Before starting the application, gather clear digital copies (scans or high-quality photos) of the following documents. Having them ready will speed up the process significantly.

1. Good Standing Certificate from Employer: An updated GSC in English from your current or most recent employer in Kuwait.
2. Kuwait MOH License Copy: A clear copy of your nursing license issued by the Kuwait MOH.
3. Updated Salary Certificate: A recent salary certificate from your employer.
4. Passport Copy: A copy of the first and last pages of your passport.
5. Employment Proof / Clearance Paper:
   • If you are currently employed: An employment certificate.
   • If you have resigned: The final clearance paper from your previous employer.
6. Request Document (If Applicable): If you are applying for a license with another authority (like the Dubai Health Authority – DHA, HAAD, etc.) and they have provided a specific request form, have it ready for upload.
