Top Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for DHA/MOH/DOH Licenses 🚫📄

Applying for a medical license in the UAE — whether it’s DHA (Dubai), MOH (Ministry of Health), or DOH (Department of Health – Abu Dhabi) — is a critical step in building your healthcare career 🇦🇪. But one small mistake can delay your entire application or even lead to rejection. ❌

In this article, we’ll highlight the top DHA MOH DOH license mistakes and how you can avoid them with expert help from Aura Health Solutions 🌟.

1️⃣ Submitting Incomplete Documents

One of the most frequent DHA MOH DOH license mistakes is missing or outdated documents. Common oversights include:

Forgetting to upload your valid BLS certificate
Using expired Good Standing Certificates
Uploading unclear or untranslated documents

📌 Tip: Check the full document checklist here.

2️⃣ Not Verifying Documents via DataFlow

Primary Source Verification (PSV) via DataFlow is mandatory. Many applicants delay this or skip it entirely — causing rejections later.

🔎 Let Aura manage your PSV/ DataFlow process so nothing gets missed.

3️⃣ Incorrect Exam Preparation

Each licensing authority has different Prometric exam formats and blueprints. Studying with outdated or irrelevant materials is a mistake.

📚 We provide up-to-date exam support tailored to your specialty.

4️⃣ Choosing the Wrong License Pathway

Applying for MOH when your job offer is in Dubai? That’s a costly mistake. Misunderstanding regional authority jurisdictions can delay onboarding.

🗺️ Aura helps you choose the correct license path from the start.

5️⃣ Applying Without an Eligibility Strategy

Each authority has unique criteria for:

Years of clinical experience
Educational equivalency
Recent practice requirements

✔ We assess your eligibility before submission to avoid delays.

6️⃣ Ignoring License Conversion Rules

Trying to use your MOH license in Dubai or Abu Dhabi without conversion? That’s a serious compliance issue — and facilities can reject your application.

🔁 Convert your license properly with Aura’s support.
