DHA RN Application Checklist
A practical checklist for nurses preparing for the Dubai Health Authority Registered Nurse licensing pathway. Use it to organize documents, verification, Sheryan steps, and Prometric exam preparation.
Who This Is For
Planning to apply for DHA Registered Nurse licensing from outside the UAE.
Trying to understand the path from documents to eligibility to exam scheduling.
Not yet sure which documents, verification steps, and study topics to prepare.
Documents To Prepare
Exact document requirements depend on your profile and official instructions. Start by organizing clean, readable copies of these common items.
- Passport or government identification.
- Nursing degree or diploma documents.
- Academic transcript where applicable.
- Current or previous nursing registration or license.
- Professional experience evidence if requested.
- Good standing certificate if requested.
- Basic Life Support certificate if applicable to your pathway.
- Name-change or translation documents if your records do not match exactly.
Typical Application Flow
- Check your eligibility. Review the current UAE Professional Qualification Requirements and DHA guidance for Registered Nurse applicants.
- Create or use your DHA/Sheryan account. DHA professional licensing services are managed through the official Sheryan portal.
- Complete Primary Source Verification if required. Education, license, and experience documents may need verification through the approved PSV process before final licensing steps.
- Submit the professional registration application. Follow the official application instructions and pay only through official or trusted channels.
- Wait for eligibility or next-step instructions. Some applicants may be instructed to take a computer-based test before continuing.
- Schedule the exam through Prometric if required. Use the official DHA/Prometric exam page and follow the ID, scheduling, and testing rules carefully.
- Finish remaining licensing steps. After exam and verification requirements, follow official instructions for registration, activation, or employer-linked licensing steps.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
Ignore anyone promising score changes, leaked questions, or guaranteed passing.
Check name spelling, dates, license numbers, and translations before applying.
Build fundamentals first: safety, infection control, documentation, and prioritization.
Use this checklist for organization, then confirm details in official DHA and Prometric pages.
Study Preparation Checklist
