DOH / HAAD DataFlow Process and Application Number 2026
DOH DataFlow Application Number Quick Summary
The "application number" for DOH DataFlow is the case number DataFlow gives you when you submit your primary source verification (PSV) application; you use it to track your report. It is different from your TAMM application reference number, your UIN and your Pearson VUE authorization. In the current DOH process the TAMM application comes first and DataFlow second, so you should already have a TAMM reference before you start DataFlow.
Most confusion on this page comes from one thing: the DOH (Department of Health Abu Dhabi) process gives you several numbers, and forms ask for them by slightly different names. If you are asked for "your application number" and do not know which one, this page tells you where each number comes from and where it is used. For the full DataFlow stage (documents, fees, delays) see our DOH DataFlow process guide.
Which numbers will you have in the DOH process?
| Number | Where it comes from | What it is used for |
|---|---|---|
| UIN (Unique Identification Number) | Created in TAMM: residents with Emirates ID, non-residents with mobile number and email | Required before you can apply for a new healthcare professional licence. See DOH UIN |
| TAMM application (reference) number | Shown when you submit the licence application in TAMM | Any message to DOH about your file, including exam and gap of practice queries |
| DataFlow case number | Issued by DataFlow when you submit and pay for PSV | Tracking your report, answering DataFlow emails, adding documents, report transfer |
| Pearson VUE authorization | Issued after you pay the exam booking fee in TAMM | Scheduling the CBT with Pearson VUE |
| DOH licence number | Issued at the end, after facility linking and payment | Practice, renewals and verification requests |

What is the DOH DataFlow application number?
It is the DataFlow case number. You receive it once your PSV application is submitted, and it appears in DataFlow's emails and in your account on DataFlow's DOH portal. DataFlow tracks every application by this number, so keep it with your passport copy and payment receipt. We have removed the number formats this page used to show; DataFlow does not publish a fixed format, and guessing one only causes trouble.
In what order do you get them? TAMM first, then DataFlow
The old HAAD e-licensing system worked the other way round, which is why many readers finished DataFlow and then got stuck in an online form. Under the current DOH manual the order is:
So if you already finished DataFlow but have no TAMM application, open the application in TAMM now. If your report was addressed to another authority (DHA or MOHAP), DOH only accepts reports addressed to DOH, so request a DataFlow report transfer rather than starting again. The full route with time frames is on our DOH exam registration guide.
What if I lost my DataFlow application number?
Search your email first. The case number is in the confirmation DataFlow sent when you paid, and in later emails asking for documents. Check the spam folder too. If you still cannot find it, log in to DataFlow's DOH portal with the email you registered, or contact DataFlow through its Support Center. Have your full name as on the passport, passport number, registered email and the payment receipt ready. For walk-in help in Abu Dhabi, DataFlow lists its customer service counters at Al Nukhba Center, Crystal Tower, Khalidiya.
How do I check my DataFlow status with the number?
Use the Track Status option on the DataFlow DOH page and enter your case number. TAMM also shows the PSV stage of your licence application. What each status means, and what to do about "unable to verify", is on how to find your DataFlow status.
Common number mix-ups to avoid
Costs for each stage are collected on DOH exam complete process and cost, and refunds on DOH application and DataFlow refunds.
DOH Qbanks to use while DataFlow runs
Pick the bank for your title and use the waiting time for practice. Every DOH Qbank, for GP, specialist and dental titles, is listed on our DOH exam for doctors page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DOH DataFlow application number?
It is the case number DataFlow issues when you submit your primary source verification application for DOH. You use it to track the report and to answer DataFlow's requests. It is not the same as your TAMM application reference or your UIN.
Do I apply in TAMM or DataFlow first?
TAMM first. Under the DOH Licensing Procedure Manual you create your UAE PASS, TAMM profile and UIN, submit the licence application, and then complete PSV on the verification agency's website. DOH reviews the file once the PSV report arrives.
How can I recover a lost DataFlow case number?
Search your email (including spam) for DataFlow's payment confirmation, or log in to DataFlow's DOH portal with your registered email. If that fails, contact the DataFlow Support Center with your passport details and payment receipt. Do not open a second application.
How long does DOH DataFlow take and what does it cost?
DOH's stated time frame is 24 working days. The PSV package costs AED 1,260 for GPs and dentists, AED 1,680 for specialists and consultants and AED 990 for other categories; DataFlow shows the current fee at payment.
Can I use a DataFlow report I did for DHA or MOHAP?
Not as it is. DOH only accepts PSV reports addressed to DOH, so you request a report transfer (re-issuance) through DataFlow. You can usually add missing documents during the transfer.
