For practitionersSHA
Getting your Sharjah practitioner licence
The licence that lets you practise in Sharjah. It is applied for by the facility hiring you, not by you - which is where most people get stuck. We prepare the file, run your verification, and push it through with the facility so you can start on time.
What we do for you
- Tell you honestly, before you spend anything, whether your qualifications and experience will clear
- Prepare every document properly the first time, so the file is not sent back
- Run your DataFlow verification and chase it until the result lands
- Work directly with your hiring facility and answer the authority on your behalf
- Do all of it remotely - you do not need to be in the UAE to start
What you will need
- Offer letter
- Medical malpractice insurance
- No-Objection Certificate from your current full-time employer (if you are applying part-time)
- Pledge letter from the hiring facility (temporary and visiting roles)
- Physical and mental health report (if you are over 60)
How it runs
- 1The facility opens the application on the authority portal
- 2Your details and documents go in
- 3Fees are paid
- 4Your licence certificate and eCard are issued
Authority fees
| Physician or dentist, full-time | AED 3,000 |
| Allied health professional, full-time | AED 1,000 |
| Part-time, any category | AED 4,000 |
| Visiting physician or dentist | AED 2,000 |
These are the authority’s fees, paid to them. Our fee is quoted for your case once we have seen the file.
Questions we get asked
- Can I apply on my own?
- Not directly. The authority treats this as something the hiring facility submits from its own portal account, so a confirmed offer from a Sharjah facility is the real starting point. If you have an offer, we take it from there. If you do not yet, we can still get your file and verification ready so you are not waiting when one arrives.
- How long will it really take?
- The authority works to 8 working days once a complete application is in. The honest answer is that the wait before that - collecting documents and getting your primary source verification back - is what decides your start date. That is the part we compress.
- I am licensed elsewhere in the UAE. Does that help?
- It usually shortens the file, because much of your verification already exists. Moving between authorities is a route we handle often - tell us which authority you hold and we will tell you what transfers and what has to be done again.
